POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE ROASTING PIT FILL AT SITE 42WS2864, SOUTHWEST UTAH (1995)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Kathryn Puseman.

Soil from a slab-lined circular feature at Site 42WS2864 in Zion Canyon, southwest Utah, was sampled for pollen, starches, phytoliths, and charred macrofloral remains. This feature is believed to be a roasting pit, and a corrugated sherd suggests use by the Virgin Anasazi during the late Pueblo II period. Pollen, starch, phytolith, and macrofloral analyses are used to address subsistence and environment.
