SUMMARY OF POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PHYTOLITH, AND CHARCOAL ANALYSES FOR THE AMOCO PIPELINE IN CENTRAL WYOMING

Summary

A total of 208 pollen, 172 macrofloral, 87 charcoal, and 10 phytolith

samples were examined in the course of this project. Analysis of the pollen

record sought to provide information both about the local vegetation, and

concerning subsistence activities. Macrofloral analysis was aimed at the

identification of charred remains that would shed light on subsistence

activites. Charcoal analysis provided information concerning the

exploitation of local resources for fuel by the occupants of the various

sites and site areas. Examination of a trial number of phytolith samples

was geared toward obtaining either paleoenvironmental and/or subsistence

data.
