POLLEN AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 48SW17760, SWEETWATER COUNTY, WYOMING
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2015
Summary
Site 48SW17760, located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, documents a prehistoric camp on the east side of a low hill that occupies the eastern side of an interfluvial ridge in the northeastern portion of the Washakie Basin (Matthew Kautzman, personal communication May 4, 2015). Open trench inspection of 2010 pipeline construction and subsequent auger, shovel, and test units identified features and artifacts, dated to 1280 ± 40 BP, or the Uinta Phase
(Matthew Kautzman, personal communication May 4, 2015). Recent excavations identified features, including hearths and a dump area and associated with debitage and tools, bone fragments, and thermally-altered rock. Five soil samples, from hearth features 3, 5, 8, 9, and 12, were submitted for pollen and starch analysis to identify economic activity.
