STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE KING SITE (24PH2886), MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1992

Summary

The King site (24PH2886) is located in the Little Rocky Mountains of north-central Montana. This site contains Pelican Lake components that have been consistently dated elsewhere between 2000 and 3500 BP. In addition, McKean Complex materials are noted that may be assigned to 3500 to 5000 BP. The upper cultural component is the Mortlach Composite, which commonly dates around AD 1600 to AD 1720. Pollen analysis was undertaken on two stratigraphic columns to provide information to identify past vegetation communities, and shed light on the paleoenvironment.
