POLLEN ANALYSIS AT 5LP630, LA PLATA COUNTY, COLORADO

Author(s): Linda J. Scott

Year: 1982

Summary

Site 5LP630 is located in Ridges Basin approximately three miles south of

Durango, Colorado. The site contains a pithouse, which has been

archaeomagnetically dated to AD 775 and AD 777 (P. Duke, personal

communication). Archaeological excavation at this site was undertaken by the

Fort Lewis College Archaeological Field School in the summer of 1982. Several

pollen samples were taken from the fill of a pithouse at 20 cm intervals to a

depth of 160+ cm, and include a sample taken from the floor of the structure and

the fill of a vessel. The floor and vessel were sampled in an effort to gain

information relating to subsistence and possible horticulture at the site, while

the stratigraphic samples were taken in an effort to define the occupational and

post-occupational environment.
