MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE VALENCIA GARDENS HOUSING PROJECT, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Jaime Dexter
Year: 2006
Summary
Seven water-screened samples from an historic late-nineteenth century Chinese
habitation site in San Francisco’s Mission District, California, were examined for macrofloral
remains. This site was discovered during excavation of a five-acre parcel during the Valencia
Gardens Housing Project. The macrofloral samples were recovered in the architectural
remnants of a structure occupied by Chinese vegetable farmers before the Great Earthquake of
1906. Macrofloral analysis will provide information about plants used by the Chinese farmers
during this time period.
