POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT 5EP2, SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; PaleoResearch Institute

Year: 1988

Summary

Site 5EP2 is located in a large rockshelter at the base of a sandstone

cliff. The shelter faces approximately west-southwest. Plains Woodland

artifacts were noted at the site, and radiocarbon ages of 1350 + 60 BP and

1490 + 60 BP were obtained from the base of the deposits. This site is the

only site in the area to yield pottery so far. Pollen and macrofloral

samples were collected stratigraphically at 5EP2 to assess

paleoenvironmental conditions and to identify any evidence of subsistence

activity.
