STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS, ADRIEN'S LANDING, CONNECTICUT

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Thomas E. Moutoux

Year: 1999

Summary

The Adrien's Landing project encompasses portions of the Holocene floodplain along the Connecticut River in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. This area has seen intensive historic use and probably was a favored location for Woodland villages between approximately 2000 and 300 years ago. Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith analysis was conducted on sediments from several cores removed from these floodplains. These sediments are thought to span approximately the past 12,500 years. Samples were collected from individual strata within the cores, but not at close intervals.
