Pollen samples were collected for analysis from an historic-recent agricultural field at the Ak-Chin Indian Community. Both samples were removed from the plowzone. Pollen analysis was oriented toward finding evidence of cultivated crops, rather than identifying specific plant communities.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES OF GARDEN AND MIDDEN AREAS, AT SHERBURNE HOUSE IN STRAWBERY BANKE, PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE (1984)
The Sherburne House site, located in the historic community of Strawbery Banke, now Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was the focus of archaeological investigations in connection with restoration of this historic district. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken in an effort to define the vegetation, herbs, flowers, and even weed species that grew within several garden areas. Identification of vegetal remains that were disposed of in trash pit-type areas was also attempted from...

This area of the park, associated with General Woodford’s Brigade, is located on the southern slopes of Mount Joy, on a grassy field (Matthew Kalos, personal communication August 8, 2014). Two soil samples, collected from two trenches in a “pipe trench” feature, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains to better understand the origin of this trench.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT FROM LOKO KAIPUNI FISHPOND (SIHP # 50-80-14-4573), WAIKĪKĪ, O’AHU, HAWAI’I (2017)
Loko Kaipuni (SIHP # 50-80-14-4573), a Hawaiian fishpond located in Waikīkī, O’ahu, Hawai’i, was used during both the pre-Contact and historic periods. In 1919 and 1928 it was filled with coral dredge from the Ala Wai Canal. A sediment sample collected from the center of the monitor trench excavation was submitted for pollen and macrofloral analysis to establish baseline environmental information for the vicinity of the fishpond and to answer questions of how the fishpond was used.

POLLEN AND PARASITE ANALYSIS FROM SITE AZ 88:13:505 (ASM), THE LEON FAMILY FARMSTEAD (2000)
The Leon Family Farmstead, AZ 88:13:505 (ASM), was occupied between the mid-1840s and the early 1920s. The Leon Family was one of the wealthier Mexican families in Tucson. They farmed along the Santa Cruz River, raised cattle, and operated a store. Samples were collected from a variety of locations at this site, including borrow pits, a possible garden plot, and an ashy layer in a well to examine pollen that might represent food and/or ornamental plants. If human waste was deposited in any of...
POLLEN AND PARASITE ANALYSIS FROM THREE PRIVIES, THE CONNIE CHAMBERS ARCHAEOLOGY PROJECT, TUCSON, ARIZONA (2000)
Four pollen/parasite samples, representing three outhouses were examined from the Connie Chambers archaeological project. These outhouses were used primarily between the 1890s and 1920s. Historic records indicate this area of Tucson was settled by working-class Mexicans in the late 19th century. Pollen and parasite analyses were conducted on these samples to examine evidence for diet and parasitic infestation.
POLLEN AND PARASITE ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE SAMPLE FROM THE REHER BAKERY, CITY OF KINGSTON, NEW YORK (2012)
The Reher Historical Site, located in the City of Kingston, Ulster County, New York, housed a kosher bakery operated by the Reher family in the early 20th Century. Sample 1796.36.1 was collected from Feature 16, a stone-lined drain that passes beneath stone walls and a brick catchbasin in an urban, rear courtyard. Sediments from this feature were submitted for parasite and pollen analysis to assist in determining the function of this drain.

POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT ABINGDON PLANTATION, ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA (1998)
The Abingdon Plantation site (44AR18) is situated on previously level terrain approximately 60 feet above sea level overlooking the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia. Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith analysis was performed at close intervals on a series of seven samples from a column in Unit 21. These samples represent Stratum F, which should represent 18th century occupations and may contain garden deposits, as well as a small amount of the overlying Stratum E, which has been dated to...
POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT SITE 46BY117, BERKELEY COUNTY INDUSTRIAL PARK, WEST VIRGINIA (1999)
Two sediment samples were collected from 46BY117 near the Cumbo Yard Tract of the Berkeley County Industrial Park, Berkeley County, West Virginia. These samples were collected from two features interpreted to represent slave houses. Pollen and phytolith analyses were conducted to identify economic activities associated with these houses.
POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT THE UTOPIA I SITE, 44JC32, VIRGINIA (1998)
Combined pollen and phytolith analyses were undertaken on five samples from the Utopia I Site (44JC32). This domestic site for enslaved African Americans exhibited two periods of occupation between approximately 1700 and 1750. Documentary evidence is strong that the components, separated spatially, were occupied by successive generations of enslaved peoples on the same plantation.
