MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF HEARTH FILL AT SITE 48AB1878, WYOMING

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

Fill from a hearth with fire-cracked rock at site 48AB1878 in southeast Wyoming was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. This site is a multicomponent site with chipped stone tools and debitage, fire-cracked rock scatters, and diagnostic artifacts from the Middle and Late Archaic periods as well as the Late Prehistoric period (Adams 2009). Sagebrush charcoal from the hearth returned a date of 2940 ± 40 BP (Beta 263534). Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide subsistence information concerning plant resources utilized by the Archaic occupants of this site.
