POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 5LP378, SOUTHWEST COLORADO

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

Year: 1997

Summary

Soil samples from a pithouse at Site 5LP378 in southwest Colorado were analyzed for

pollen and macrofloral remains. Three vegetal samples also were examined. This

subrectangular pithouse is believed to have been occupied during the Early Pueblo I period,

approximately the AD 790s or early AD 800s. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to

address questions pertaining to evidence of foods being processed, types of wood burned as

fuel, season of occupation, and evidence of ritual activities.
