POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF HEARTH FILL AT 48SW1644, SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2003

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral samples were examined from the fill of a hearth at site 48SW1644

in southwestern Wyoming. This site exhibits Fremont rock art and is situated at the base of two

sandstone outcrops west of the Green River. A test unit uncovered the hearth containing a large

quantity of fire-cracked rock. A radiocarbon age of 1240 ± 90 BP is reported for this hearth. Pollen

and macrofloral samples were collected to identify any plants that might have been processed in

the hearth. In addition, the pollen record should provide information concerning local and regional

plants growing at the time the hearth was used.
