POLLEN, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR SITES LA 133205, LA 133206, AND LA 155234 ALONG HIGHWAY 64, NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO

Summary

Sites LA 133205, LA 133206, and LA 155234 in northwest New Mexico were tested as

part of the US 64 Data Recovery project. A lithic scatter containing a hearth (LA 13025) was

assigned to the San Rafael Phase (ca. 3500-1800 BC), representing a Middle to Late Archaic

occupation. A multicomponent site (LA 133206) included a prehistoric lithic scatter and two

hearths, as well as a historic artifact scatter and modern corral. Site LA 155234 represents a

Late Archaic lithic scatter with a thermal feature. Pollen and macrofloral samples were

collected from the thermal features and hearths at these three sites to address subsistence

activities.
