POLLEN ANALYSIS AT A TEMPORARY CAMPSITE IN THE LA PLATA VALLEY, NEW MEXICO

Author(s): Linda J. Scott; PaleoResearch Institute

Year: 1986

Summary

A lithic scatter (DCA-85-184) in the La Plata Valley, San Juan County,

New Mexico, represents a temporary camp. This archaeological site was

sampled for pollen in four areas during archaeological testing. Based on

projectile point morphology, the occupation of the site appears to fall

within the Basketmaker II or III time periods. A single large roasting

pit/hearth was recovered and sampled for pollen. In addition, pollen samples

were taken from artifact clusters at the site. Pollen sampling was

structured to recover subsistence data from this site, as well as to identify

the environment at the time of occupation.
