POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT 48SWII02, WYOMING

Summary

Site 48SU1102 is located on the western edge of the Green River

floodplain in the southwest corner of Sublette County in southwestern

Wyoming. Both pollen and macrofloral remains were analyzed in conjunction

with archaeological mitigation. Two activity areas were sampled for pollen;

the eastern excavation block and western excavation block. Stratigraphic

pollen samples from both excavation blocks were examined to assess the local

paleoenvironment. In addition, pollen and macrofloral samples from several

features were studied in an effort to determine subsistence activity at the

site. Two cultural components ranging in age from 3810 BP (Lower Component)

to 1520-1660 BP (Upper Component) were excavated.
