Samples from pit structures, pits, and a trash deposit at Area 15 of Pueblo Salado were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. Area 15 represents the easternmost component of Pueblo Salado and appears to be associated with an early Classic or even a late Sedentary occupation. Previous pollen studies at Area 8/9 and 14 of Pueblo Salado showed a strong association with riverine resources, and every macrobotanical sample contained maize remains. Pollen, phytolith , and...
