The site contains an Early Archaic component dated to about 6900 BP and a Late Archaic component dating to 3950 BP. The site consists of two pit features that probably represent occupation structures, one of which contained features within the larger feature, and hearth features outside the presumed...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT SITES 42WS1582 AND 42WS1585 ALONG THE UP&L NEWCASTLE POWERLINE TESTING (1987)
Pollen samples were collected in connection with archaeological mitigation from two sites (42Ws 1582 and 42Ws 1585) along the UP&L Newcastle Powerline. No definable features available for sampling at these sites. The pollen samples were collected from test pits at this site to provide basic paleoenvironmental data from these Archaic sites. Lithic debris was usually confined to the upper 20 cm of each pit.
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE BERNHARDT SITE (5WL1860), NORTHEASTERN COLORADO (1995)
The Bernhardt site (5WL1860) is located approximately 100 meters southeast of the Dent site (5WL269). Relative stratigraphy places this hearth as probable Mid to Late Archaic (4000 to 2000 BP). Pollen analysis of the fill was undertaken to identify any evidence of subsistence activity.
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE DUST DEVIL GORGE MEDICINE WHEEL SITE, 5MF 3687, NORTHWESTERN COLORADO (1999)
This Paleoindian and Early Archaic site, occupied during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene, contained a medicine wheel.

A stratigraphic pollen column was collected from an Archaic lithic...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THREE SITES NEAR SHUMWAY, ARIZONA (1989)
Three archaeological sites located between Taylor and Shumway, Arizona along State Highway 77 were sampled for pollen analysis. Sites AZ P:12:33(ASM) and AZ P:12:35(ASM) have been tentatively identified as Archaic through the presence of early projectile points, absence of ceramics, and a single radiocarbon age of 690 ± 150 BC from AZ P:12:35(ASM) (Weaver, personal communication, August 11, 1989). Very little work has been done on Archaic age sites in this area, which represent occupation...
