POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR THE BOOTS SITE (32MZ732), MACKENZIE COUNTY, WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA

Summary

The Boots Site (32MZ732) is located in upland rolling hills dissected by deep woody

draws leading to the Missouri River, which has been dammed to form Lake Sakakawea. A

stratigraphic column with a base prior to BC 5700-5575, near the terminal end of the Paleo-

Indian and transition to the Early Plains Archaic for this area, was examined to provide a record

of vegetation. The vegetation record should coincide with paleoenvironmental conditions and

provide information that may have influenced human occupation of this area through time.
