DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Kathryn Puseman.

Two sediment samples were collected from depths of 9 feet and 10-11 feet below the surface, apparently within prehistoric fill of a backhoe trench for the Coal Street Extension. Pollen and macrofloral analysis were conducted on these samples to identify plants represented in these records and to examine the record of vegetation. In addition, analysis of these samples was considered exploratory because pollen analysis had not been attempted on sediments from this area previously.
