POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT SITE CA-TEH-305, CALIFORNIA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2002
Summary
Samples from two archaeological features at site CA-TEH-305 in north-central California
were examined for pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral remains. The site contains a large, rounded
midden of organic-rich sediment, flaked and groundstone artifacts, fire-cracked rock, faunal
remains, shell, and human burials. Based on radiocarbon dates from similar sites in the area, the
site is believed to date to the Late Period, no older than about 1200 years BP. Pollen and
macrofloral analyses of fill from an ashy hearth feature and from a deposit within the midden
mound will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the occupants of
this site.
