POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR SITES IN THE LAS VEGAS WASH, NEVADA (2006)
Ten samples were examined for starch and pollen from nine archaeological sites in the Las Vegas Wash of southern Nevada. These samples represent features of cleared areas in desert pavement. Pollen and starch analysis was conducted in an effort to determine whether these cleared areas were cultural or natural. If they were cultural areas, raw foodstuffs might have been placed or perhaps stored in these locations.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT SITE 26CK2954, COYOTE SPRINGS ROCKSHELTER, NEVADA (2003)
Six pollen and three macrofloral samples were recovered from various levels of fill at site 26CK2954 in southem Nevada. Fill from a hearth feature and a packrat midden aIso were examined for macrofloral remains, and sixteen botanic samples were submitted for identification. This site is a small alcove/rock shelter containing historic artifacts dating to AD 1820 to 1880 mixed with flaked and ground stone. Pollen and/or macrofloral analysis of strata and feature fill will be used to provide...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF CHARCOAL FROM A PITHOUSE IN THE FLOODPLAIN OF LAS VEGAS WASH (SITE 26CK1282), NEVADA (2003)
Samples associated with a shallow pit house at site 26CK1282 were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the occupants of the pit house, particularly evidence for use of wetland resources or farming. Individual charcoal samples representing construction members also were submitted for identification. This site was buried in the floodplain of Las Vegas Wash in southern Nevada and appears to represent occupation around A.D....
POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 26CK2605 (2003)
Samples from an Anasazi pit structure at site 26CK2605 in southern Nevada were submitted for pollen, macrofloral, phytolith, and/or protein residue analyses. Fill from a Late Archaic hearth also was examined for macrofloral remains. This site is very large and contains numerous loci and features. The pit structure and thermal pit were located in Midden 1 at Locus 1 in the vicinity of a spring channel. Analyzes were conducted to address questions of subsistence. Pollen, phytolith, and...
POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND X-RAY DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM LOCUS 4 AT THE BLACK DOG MESA ARCHAEOLOGICAL COMPLEX, SITE 26CK5686, NEVADA (2002)
Samples from five pit structures, two external pits, and a ramada excavated during the 2000-2001 field season in Locus 4 at the Black Dog Mesa Archaeological Complex (26CK5686) in southern Nevada were examined for pollen, phytoliths, macrofloral remains, protein residues, and/or X-ray diffraction. A control sample from the site surface also was submitted for pollen analysis. This site is a large, multi component complex consisting of seven individual locus sites. Locus 4 contained a variety...
A Prehistoric Context for Southern Nevada (2012)
