POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 5LA6493, COMANCHE NATIONAL GRASSLANDS, COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2005

Summary

Five pollen and three macrofloral samples were examined from site 5LA6493 in the

Comanche National Grasslands of southeastern Colorado. This site consists of a room block

with eight rooms. Charcoal from this site yielded a conventional radiocarbon age of 990 ± 40

BP. Soil samples from a hearth and a circular pit, as well as one metate fragment and one

mano, were recovered from Room 2. A conventional radiocarbon age of 1080 ± 40 BP was

obtained from Feature 3, a hearth in Room 2. Pollen and macrofloral samples were examined

to obtain subsistence information and help provide insight into plant procurement and

processing along the Purgatoire River during the Developmental or Formative Period.
