Archaeobotanical samples were examined from two sites located on Oliver Ranch, approximately 10 miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Samples from two possible hearth or roasting features and a soil control were analyzed for pollen remains from prehistoric site 26CK7041. Samples also were submitted from three features at historic site 26CK7053. A sample believed to represent hearth/stove ash from Feature 1, a residential cabin, and four stratigraphic column samples from an area believed to...

Sites AZ CC:1:89 and AZ CC:2:299 belong to a large cultural complex containing 29 sites located in Maricopa County, Arizona, near the Gila River approximately 160 miles east of Phoenix. Both sites are thought to have been prehistoric. Site AZ CC:1:89 consists of rock ring features associated with a low density sherd and lithic scatter, while site AZ CC:2:299 is probably a prehistoric horticultural site that also contains seven rock piles and a chipped-stone scatter. Four samples collected...

A single burned metate fragment, recovered from Hearth #4 at 48SU1016, was submitted for pollen analysis of a wash of the surface. This site remains undated at this writing, although a radiocarbon sample was submitted from this hearth. Feature #4 is a deep basin, partially lined with large, oxidized sandstone slabs, that yielded 34 gallons of fill. It is part of a large prehistoric site located along a ridge in the western portion of the Green River Basin.

One subsurface feature described as a "charcoaly" layer located beneath layers of burned cobbles was discovered during blading within a small tributary canyon at Big Sky Ranch near Simi Valley, California. The feature does not appear to be associated with known archaeological sites in the area. One sample from the feature was examined for pollen to provide a description of local and regional vegetation that could be interpreted to describe environmental conditions and potential economic...

Site 48CR9097represents an Early to Late Archaic occupation containing five features and divided into a Prehistoric Camp and Faunal Block. Radiocarbon dates obtained for Feature 1, noted at a depth of 26–34 cmbgs, and Feature 3, recovered at a depth of 53–93 cmbgs are reported as 1800 ± 30 and 5300 ± 30 BP, respectively. Three pollen samples were examined from the Prehistoric Camp block, and two pollen samples were examined from the Faunal Block.

Soil samples from features at sites 48SW15144 and 48SW15146 in Sweetwater County, southwest Wyoming, were submitted for pollen and macrofloral analyses. These sites represent prehistoric open camps with hearth features and are located northeast of the Boar’s Tusk outside of Rock Springs. The features were discovered in the two-track maintenance road for the PacifiCorp’s Atlantic City to Rock Springs power line. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning plant...

Pollen and macrofloral samples were recovered from the Sleeping Rainbow Ranch, site 42WN1885, in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. This site contains both prehistoric and historic components. Pollen samples were collected from a historic stone masonry structure, possibly a fruit cellar, and from an unknown prehistoric trench-like feature. In addition, a control sample was collected from the modern ground surface. Macrofloral samples were taken from the prehistoric trench-like feature and...

A large basin metate was discovered during mass grading at site CA-SDI-295 for the Woods Valley Ranch project in northern San Diego County, California. Woods Valley Ranch is a proposed residential and golf course community with surrounding natural open space easements. Large scrapers were used to transport soils from the northwest portion of the site to another portion of the project area, and the metate was found in the resulting spoils pile. Site CA-SDI-295 is a prehistoric residential camp...

A packrat midden from inside a small, south-facing rockshelter (site LA 134890) in southeast New Mexico was sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. The remains of a burned packrat midden and general fill of the shelter also were examined for macrofloral remains. Charcoal samples from the packrat midden and from the shelter fill were identified prior to submission for radiocarbon analysis, while four lithic flakes were tested for possible protein residues. Radiocarbon analysis of charcoal...

Samples from five archaeological sites in southwest Utah were submitted for pollen and macrofloral analysis to provide information concerning plant resources utilized at the various sites. Artifacts from three of the sites were analyzed for possible protein residues to determine use of animal resources. Sites 42Ws2871 and 42Ws2872 are located within the city limits of St. George. Site 42Ws2871 is a rock shelter with numerous associated features. A conventional radiocarbon age of 310 ± 40 BP,...

Pollen, macrofloral, and protein residue samples were examined from site 42WN2489, located in the upper Fremont River Valley in Wayne County, Utah. The prehistoric component of the site consists of three distinct clusters of cultural material. The site is associated with Archaic Pinto Series projectile points, which generally date to 8300-6200 BP in stratified cave contexts in Utah. Ten pollen and nine macrofloral samples were collected from Feature 2, a pithouse in the area designated...

As designed for the Intercontinental Potash, Inc. (ICP) Ochoa Project, a proposed ICP plant facility will be built approximately 2 km east of the Double X Ranch and 35 km west of the town of Jal in Lea County, New Mexico. Samples from three prehistoric sites (LA 108617, LA 172154, and LA 172155), collected during cultural resource data recovery, were submitted for phytolith and starch analyses. In addition to phytolith and starch analyses, pollen analysis was performed on three of the seven...

Site CA-030-2147 is a small rockshelter situated in the foothills of the Klamath Mountains near the town of Hornbrook in Siskiyou County, California. The rockshelter was occupied between the late prehistoric and early historic period. A sample collected from the shelter was submitted for pollen, phytolith, and starch analysis to identify evidence of local vegetation and possibly use. In addition, a “pinch” sample was collected in the vicinity of the shelter to provide control for the pollen...
