POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND FIBER ANALYSIS FROM HYATT HILL, GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK, TENNESSEE

Summary

Paired pollen and macrofloral samples were submitted for analysis from four features and

two sediment zones at Hyatt Hill, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Examination

of pollen and macrofloral remains from the two sediment zones was designed to establish baseline

data concerning recovery of these remains outside cultural areas. Analysis of pollen and

macrofloral remains from four features was undertaken in an effort to identify use of plants by

people occupying this area. In addition, a sample that was originally described as representing

burnt thatch was examined to identify the plant fibers thought to be present. Upon examination,

this sample is more appropriately described as representing black-stained orange clay with

possible plant impressions.
