POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL ANALYSES, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM A THERMAL FEATURE AT SITE LA 172823, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Chad Yost
Year: 2012
Summary
Seven samples from two levels of fill in a thermal feature at site LA 172823 in Eddy County, New Mexico, were analyzed for pollen, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. Charcoal and charred botanic remains recovered from the macrofloral samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. A total of seven dates were obtained. This site consists of a single thermal feature and small scatter of prehistoric lithic artifacts. Pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral analyses will provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the site occupants, while radiocarbon dating will determine the time period for use of the feature.
