North-central Idaho (Geographic Keyword)
1-2 (2 Records)
Calculus or impacta contents were examined for three bison teeth still in the skull recovered from the Salmon-Challis National Forest in north-central Idaho. This study was undertaken to identify diet and possibly ecology of the area in which this bison ranged. The bison is of relatively recent age, representing the late Holocene. Phytolith and macrofloral analysis of impacta contents, as well as phytolith analysis of calculus provide a partial record of diet.
POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES AT THE COVE CREEK SITE, 10LH144, NORTH-CENTRAL IDAHO (2001)
Groundstone and sediment samples from the Cove Creek site, 10LH144, in north-central Idaho were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and/or possible protein residues. The floated light fractions from a fired rock feature and a shell midden also examined for macrofloral remains. This site is a multicomponent site with evidence for possibly three distinct occupations. Radiocarbon samples from the same area as the samples examined for this project date between 2500 and 3000 years BP. Pollen,...
