POLLEN ANALYSIS OF TWENTY-THREE SEDIMENT SAMPLES FROM SITE 13DB674, DUBUQUE COUNTY, IOWA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Paul M. Miller

Year: 2019

Summary

Site 13DB674 is situated on terrace within an actively cultivated cornfield extending southeast of the junction of east/west-trending Seippel Road and north/south-trending Cousins Road in Dubuque County, Iowa. A lithic artifact concentration consisting of tertiary flake reductions was discovered at the site, with cultural materials recovered from two separate stratigraphic formation members, recognized by geologists as Gunder (c. 10,500–3,000 BP) and Roberts Creek (c. 4,000–500 BP) (Leah Rogers, personal communication, 16 April 2019). Archaeologists with Tallgrass Archaeology identified a diagnostic projectile point and propose affiliation with the Godar/Raddatz industry and the Middle to Late Archaic periods (5,000–3,500 BP). Tallgrass recovered 22 sediment samples from two loci at the site during excavations from 2012 and 2013. A surface sediment control was also collected. All sediment samples were submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for pollen analysis to better understand past environments at the site.
