Las Vegas Wash, Nevada (Geographic Keyword)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. R.A. Varney.

Ten samples were examined for starch and pollen from nine archaeological sites in the Las Vegas Wash of southern Nevada. These samples represent features of cleared areas in desert pavement. Pollen and starch analysis was conducted in an effort to determine whether these cleared areas were cultural or natural. If they were cultural areas, raw foodstuffs might have been placed or perhaps stored in these locations.
