POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF PREHISTORIC BISON TEETH AND HEARTH FILL FROM SITE 48TE1079, WYOMING, AND ANALYSIS OF A MODERN BISON TOOTH FROM THE PELICAN VALLEY OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman
Year: 1999
Summary
A single hearth and control sample collected from sediments outside the hearth were
submitted from Site 48TE1 079 in Wyoming to identify food processing activities associated with
this feature. These samples were examined for pollen evidence of economic activity. In
addition, calculus on two bison teeth from 48TE1079 were examined for pollen and phytoliths
to identify grazing activity. Impacta from a modern bison tooth in Pelican Valley, Idaho, also was
examined for pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral remains.
