POLLEN, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLES FROM HORNBY CREEK, SITE 10BR14, PEND OREILLE RIVER VALLEY, BONNER COUNTY, IDAHO

Summary

Samples from the fill of two features at the Hornby Creek Site (10BR14) in northern

Idaho were examined for pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. These features consist of a

small basin-shaped cultural feature and a large, shallow, fire modified rock (FMR) concentration

with dark charcoal staining. It has been postulated that these features were used for plant

processing, most likely camas. Radiocarbon dates from these features indicate occupation

during the Middle period phase (ca. 8,000 to 2,000 B.P.). Pollen, starch, and macrofloral

analyses are used to provide information concerning possible plant processing activities

associated with these features.
