POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A KIVA FLOOR AT GRAN QUIVERA

Summary

Fifteen pollen samples were collected from a kiva floor at Gran

Quivera. This site is located in central New Mexico in the Upper Sonoran

Life Zone. It was occupied between AD 8OO and AD 1775. The kiva, which was

sampled for pollen, has building date of AD 1510. The kiva was occupied

during Glaze D. This pollen analysis follows previous work at this site

(Scott 1987), that examined stratigraphic midden deposits. The pollen

samples were collected from the floor of the kiva in an effort to define

subsistence activity areas on this floor, as well as to note the total range

of vegetal resources processed or utilized within the kiva.
