POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT SAMPLES AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF A PROJECTILE POINT FROM BEAVER CREEK ROCK SHELTER (24LC2186), MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost

Year: 2011

Summary

Beaver Creek rock shelter is located in on the west flank of the Big Belt Mountains at the confluence of Beaver Creek and an unnamed intermittent drainage. This site exhibited nine pictographs located on a secondary terrace and contained a stratigraphic record of deposits approximately 250 cm deep. Pollen samples were collected from eight of the eighteen levels within the shelter and examined to form a record of the paleo environment (Table 1). In addition, a projectile point recovered from level IV was submitted for protein residue analysis.
