A single sample from a possible midden deposit near the center of the "Stampfli Site" in Plumas County, northern California, was examined for macrofloral remains. This site is located in the southern portion of Indian Valley, which was previously marshy. Today, the valley floor has been selectively dried by channeling water for farming and ranching, while the margins have been developed for rural residences. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources that...
