POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 5MT7712, SOUTHWEST COLORADO

Summary

Samples from Site 5MT7712 in southwest Colorado were examined for pollen

and macrofloral remains. This site is a large Pueblo II/III Anasazi habitation

site, although only a small portion of the site was excavated and analyzed.

Excavated features include a small two-room room block and associated internal

features, a subterranean pit room and associated internal features, and

hearth/pit/trash features associated with extramural activity surrounding the

two-room room block. The excavated portion of the site is believed to have

functioned as a specialized work area used for food processing activities.

Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning

possible plant resources that were processed in this area of the site.
