Fill from two features at Site 41BS611 in Big Bend National Park, Texas, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Two ground stone samples also were washed to recover pollen/starches, while 20 flaked stone artifacts were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site is noted to be a large, open campsite containing stone-paved hearths and a lithic scatter. Diagnostic artifacts suggest Middle Archaic, Late Archaic, and Late Prehistoric occupations, while radiocarbon dates from three...

Fourteen ceramics from the Reeders Creek West site, 28Me360, were submitted for examination of organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, four sediment samples were examined for pollen, while two projectile point–type artifacts and a projectile point base were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site is a Native American campsite located above the Delaware River in Mercer County, New Jersey. This stratified site contains Middle Archaic through...

Samples from sites 42Ws1748, 42Ws4465, 42Ws4472, 42Ws4474, and 42Ws4718 in the Warm Springs Project area of Washington County, southwest Utah, were examined for pollen, starches, and/or macrofloral remains. Radiocarbon dates from the various sites indicate Archaic and Basketmaker II occupations between 840-770 Cal BC and Cal AD 30-220. Pollen, starch, and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide subsistence information concerning plant resources utilized by the various occupants of...

Soil samples from sites 420a545 and 420a791 in northeastern Utah were analyzed for pollen, starch, and/or macrofloral remains. Site 420a545 represents a Late Archaic and Fremont hunting camp and shallow rock shelter, while 420a791 is a Fremont and Late Prehistoric campsite with numerous brush structures. Pollen, starch, and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the various occupants of these sites.

Samples were collected and examined from prehistoric sites 42DA1392, 42DC1859, and 42DC1861 in the Ashley National Forest of northwestern Utah. These sites represent multiple occupations of the area. Radiocarbon dates reflect Early Archaic and Fremont occupations at 42DC1392, with Late Archaic and Fremont occupations at 42DC1859 and 42DC1861. Soil samples from these sites were analyzed for evidence of pollen/starches and macrofloral remains. Charcoal was collected from macrofloral samples...

A total of fourteen samples from hearth features at sites 5MF6871, 5MF6872, and 5MF6806 were examined for pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. These sites were encountered during well pad construction in Powder Wash, Colorado. Radiocarbon dates suggest Settled Period and Pioneer Period (both Early Archaic) occupations at 5MF6806, Settled Period and Aspen Tradition (Formative Era) occupations at 5MF6871, and Pioneer Period and Aspen Tradition occupations at 5MF6872. Pollen, starch, and...

Samples from the fill of hearth features at sites 5MF6871, 5MF6872, and 5MF6806 were examined to recover pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. Although most of the samples were submitted earlier in the year, an additional six samples from Features 12 through 17 at site 5MF6806 were submitted later for pollen and macrofloral analysis. These sites were encountered during well pad construction in Powder Wash, Colorado. Radiocarbon dates suggest Settled Period and Pioneer Period (both Early...

Site 48CR8818 represents an Early Archaic housepit with three subfloor thermal basins. Radiocarbon dates indicate this housepit was occupied between approximately 5600 and 5850 radiocarbon years BP. One modern and one stratigraphic sample were submitted for pollen analysis and an additional stratigraphic sample was examined for both pollen and starch. Pollen analysis was undertaken to describe the vegetation communities before and at the time of occupation, while starch analysis was added...

Site 36DA89, the Calver Island Site, is a stratified archaeological site with occupations in the Late Archaic Period, Transitional Period, and Early Woodland Period located in Pennsylvania. Originally identified in 1976, the site underwent Phase II and Phase III excavations beginning in 2004 due to the need to replace the Susquehanna River Bridge. Nine soil samples were examined, six of which represent a stratigraphic column, while the remaining three represent sediments from specific soil...

Two manos from site 5GA9, an Early and Middle Archaic site in Grand County, Colorado were tested for evidence of pollen, starch, and phytoliths. This site is a large, open lithic scatter spread across the top of a terrace on the east side of the Blue River near the eastern foot of San Toy Mountain. These two manos were examined to provide information concerning plants that might have been ground using these tools.

A total of 20 lithic artifacts from the Raker I site, 36Nb58, in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, were analyzed for possible protein residues to provide information concerning animal resources that might have been hunted/processed using these tools. A possible milling stone found in the fill of a deep, silo-shaped pit also was washed for pollen and starches to determine if plants were ground using this tool. The majority of these artifacts represent a late Middle Archaic to early Late...

The Water Authority Site (36WH1619) reflects a series of small prehistoric camps situated on the T1 terrace of the North Branch of Pigeon Creek south of I-70 in the Waynesburg Hills Section of the Appalachian Plateaus physiographic province, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Rock cluster features and artifacts, including bifacial and cobble/pebble tools, and debitage, likely reflect occupations dating between the Late Archaic through Late Woodland/Late Prehistoric periods. Activities at the site...

Archaeobotanical and organic residue analysis was conducted on a metate, mano, two lithic artifacts, and associated soil controls from sites 42SA21484 and 42SA24114, located in San Juan County, Utah. Site 42SA21484 is an Archaic period lithic scatter, and site 42SA24114 is an Early Archaic lithic quarry and lithic scatter with a historic component. The project area lies within two vegetation communities, the pinyon-juniper woodland and the sagebrush community. Pollen, phytolith, organic residue...

Sediment samples were collected from a bone bed and an outhouse at the Evanston Chinatown historic site (48UT1749) in southwest Wyoming. These samples were examined for evidence of pollen and starch granules that might identify both modern vegetation and food, for parasite eggs that might indicate parasite infestation, and for protein residues to identify possible animal proteins present in the sediments. The sample from an outhouse pit also was floated to recover macrofloral evidence of...

Samples from three archaeological sites were examined for pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. A single sample from a probable historic trench privy at Fort Thornburgh in northeast Utah was examined for pollen, starch, and parasites to detect evidence of foods consumed, as well as the possibility that parasite eggs were present. Two samples from 42Da1005, a dual component site with occupations dating from the Archaic and Fremont periods, were examined for pollen, starch and macrofloral...
