EMAP (1992) Preliminary Analysis of Archaeobotanical Samples from 83NM400, 85NM612, 85NM613, Palomas Creek Drainage, Sierra County, New Mexico

Part of the EMAP - Reports project

Author(s): Michael Diehl

Year: 1992

Summary

The purpose of this analysis is to assess the diet breadth and

intensity of species use of prehistoric Mogollones by examining

archaeobotanical samples from three archaeological sites, 83NM400,

85NM612, and 85NM613. These sites are situated along Palomas Creek,

an intermittent stream which flows only after significant

precipitation, and locally near springs. To date, fifty samples from

floor features (storage pits, hearths, and interiors of ceramic

vessels) have been analyzed. Analysis of samples from other floor

context features is continuing.
