Development of macrophysical climate models was instrumental in creating archaeoclimatic models of past climates for specific locations (Bryson 1998). Modeled mean temperature and precipitation "by month for each two centuries back to 14,000 years BP" (Bryson and Bryson n.d.:1) can be created. In addition, these parameters may be used to generate a "water budget", comparing precipitation and potential evapotranspiration, wind speed and direction, storm intensity and frequency, snowfall, and...
POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT 48PA2405, A MCKEAN-AGE SITE NEAR CODY, WYOMING (2003)
Stratigraphic samples were collected at 6 cm intervals through deposits of an ancient playa associated with archaeological site 48PA2405.

Given the early...
