MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SELECTED SAMPLES FROM AZ 1:1:17 IN THE KAIBAB NATIONAL FOREST, ARIZONA
Author(s): Linda J. Scott; PaleoResearch Institute
Year: 1984
Summary
Macrofloral analysis was undertaken at site AZ 1:1:17 along State Road
64 in the Kaibab National Forest in conjunction with archaeological
mitigation. The site is located in the Upper Basin, a Pinyon-Juniper
ecotone located south of Grand Canyon's South Rim. This Kayenta Anasazi
site consists of three pithouses and a surface room, dating to the Pueblo II
period (AD 900-1100). All four structures burned, increasing the
probability that macrofloral remains would have been preserved. Flotation
samples were taken from vessel fills, floor pits, hearths, and general
structure fills. In addition, two burned Zea (maize) cobs were rernoved from
the floor of Structure 1 during excavation, as was a fibrous mass of Yucca
fibers.
