POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES AT SITE LA 134890, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2002
Summary
A packrat midden from inside a small, south-facing rockshelter (site LA 134890) in
southeast New Mexico was sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. The remains of a burned packrat midden and general fill of the shelter also were examined for macrofloral remains. Charcoal samples from the packrat midden and from the shelter fill were identified prior to submission for radiocarbon analysis, while four lithic flakes were tested for possible protein residues. Radiocarbon analysis of charcoal and wood recovered from the rockshelter yielded calibrated dates ranging from A.D. 1040-1290 to A.D. 1430-1660, indicating a later prehistoric occupation.
