POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE BLUE POINT BRIDGE SITE, AZ U:6:37(ASM)

Summary

Eighteen pollen samples were analyzed from the Blue Point Bridge

Archaological Site, a large Hohokam habitation site. The site was

permanently occupied during the Sacaton phase (AD 900-1100) and possibly

toward the end of the Santa Cruz phase (AD 700-900). Five functionally

distinct spatial components were identified and features from three of these

components were analyzed for pollen. Pollen analysis was conducted to

identify specific biotic resources used at the site. In addition, data was

sought concerning practices used to process the various resources. The

pollen record was also examined for similarities and dissimilarities between

the various features and components. Evidence was also sought to address

seasonal use of resources, and hence contribute to an interpretation of

seasonal or permanent occupation at the site.
