The Mr. Peat Pit site consists of widespread peat and localized tufa in the latest Pleistocene paleovalley on piedmont east of Rio Grande in south central Colorado. A sample of black-mat type peat and a sample of the overlying spring-mound tufa from the pit initially were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. An additional tufa sample and...
MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE BUCCI RANCH PROJECT, SITES 5HF1079, 5HF1082 , 5HF1096 , AND 5HF1109, SOUTH-CENTRAL COLORADO (1995)
Nine samples from features at Sites 5HF1079, 5HF1082 , 5HF1096 , and 5HF1109 in south-central Colorado were floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. These sites represent late Archaic through late Prehistoric occupations, with radiocarbon dates ranging from 2060 ± 70 BP to 520 ± 60 BP. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized at these sites.
