POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES OF A SINGLE SAMPLE FROM THE SCHMITT CHERT MINE AT SITE 24VW559, MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Thomas E. Moutoux

Year: 1996

Summary

Unburned sediment containing wood charcoal was noted as a spoil pile resulting from chert mining at the Three Waters Quarries, Site 24VW559, on the Missouri River in Montana. The mine represents Pelican Lake Complex utilization during the Late Middle Prehistoric Period. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were conducted on the sediment to identify the types of plants growing in the area and those that were burned. Charcoal removed from this sample also will be radiocarbon dated.
