MACROFLORAL AND CHARCOAL ANALYSIS AT LA 75160 NEAR ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO

Summary

Site LA 75160 is located immediately adjacent to and east of Kenna Draw.

It is situated on a sandy hummock sloping into a man-made drainage between the

railroad bed and the hummock. Three features were examined for macrofloral

remains and charcoal. In addition, charcoal individually picked from backhoe

trenches and Feature 1 was identified. These studies were undertaken to identify

elements of the past environment, as well as probable subsistence items processed

at this site. Charcoal recovered from features probably reflects fuel used by

the occupants of the site.
