Pollen and Macrofloral Analysis of Samples from Mound Park Mitigation Site 33SC0001, Scioto County, Ohio
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2020
Summary
Mound Park, 33SC0001 is the only known surviving mound remnant of the Ohio portion of the Portsmouth Earthworks. This large, geometric Hopewellian earthwork complex included three separate groups of geometric earthworks. Two features, as well as modern topsoil and subsoil were sampled for pollen analysis. Feature fill also was submitted for macrofloral analysis. Pollen and macrofloral analysis were undertaken to provide information concerning local vegetation prior to construction of the earthworks, during its occupation, with the modern sample servicing as a control sample to compare the pollen record with extant vegetation.
