Fill from a prehistoric hearth or roasting pit at site 5DA2075 in Douglas County, Colorado, was floated to recover macrofloral remains. This site is part of the Reuter-Hess Reservoir Project. Charcoal from this feature yielded a conventional radiocarbon age of 1590 ± 40 BP (Beta-211597), with a two sigma calibrated age range of cal AD 400-560. Macrofloral analysis will be used to determine plant resources utilized by the occupants of this site during this time period.

POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 5DA1951 AND 5DA1957, COLORADO (2005)
Sites 5DA 1951 and 5DA 1957 are multi-component sites within the boundaries of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir Project in Douglas County, Colorado. Radiocarbon dates and diagnostic artifacts obtained from the sites indicate occupations ranging from the Early Ceramic through the Middle Archaic periods. A mano and metate, along with soil control samples, were washed and examined for pollen. Additionally, twenty bulk sediment samples were floated to recover macrofloral remains. Pollen and...
