Fifty-six pollen samples were analyzed from sites 42EH2109 and 42EM2095 in central Utah. These sites are located approximately 100 meters apart along Highway 31 in Huntington Canyon. Located in the extreme northwestern portion of Emery County, these sites both contain evidence of Fremont occupation. Pollen analysis was undertaken to provide evidence of food processing activities, and to delineate plants that were utilized by the occupants of the sites.

Two high altitude sites in Summit and Lake Counties (SSTl14 and SLK372) were examined for their pollen content in connection with archaeological mitigation. These sites were sampled stratigraphically in an effort to define paleoenvironmental changes in this area. Unfortunately, the soil deposition was relatively shallow at both sites, thus compacting the relatively long time sequences and yielding few pollen samples. The pollen samples were removed from defined natural stratigraphic units...

Sites SMF1827 and SMF18l8 were sampled for pollen to gather both paleoenvironmental and subsistence data. Both sites are located in the northwestern portion of Sand Wash Basin in northwestern Colorado. Site 5MT1827 is located near the rim of the basin and was stratigraphically sampled to collect paleoenvironmental data. In addition, a single ash pocket was also sampled for pollen. Site 5MT1818 is located approximately 3 miles to the east of SMT1827. Two features were sampled for...

Stratigraphic pollen samples were collected from two sites in the Santa Fe National Forest of the Jemez Mountain Range. These sites are believed to have functioned as obsidian procurement areas. Pollen samples were collected from stratigraphic units at both samples, and were analyzed to provide paleoenvironmental data.

Pollen samples were taken in conjunction with archaeological texting at two archaeological sites (PL30A and PL32A) in the Placitas Parcel to assist in the interpretation of these sites. Pollen analysis was undertaken both to study the paleoenvironment and to investigate local subsistence patterns at these sites. The samples analyzed in this study represent both stratigraphic deposits and features.

Pollen samples were collected from rock features at two sites in Rio Blanco County in northwestern Colorado. Located on a bench approximately 11 miles east of Rangely, these sites overlook the White River. Two features at each site were sampled for pollen. The features are described as concentrations of river-worn cobbles similar to agricultural features in Arizona. The purpose of pollen analysis at these sites was to search for evidence of agriculture.

Dry land agricultural features were noted during archaeological investigations. Located on the leeward slopes of the West Maui Mountains, the area receives drainage from the higher West Maui Mountains. Eight trenches were sampled stratigraphically for pollen to examine evidence of agricultural activity.

Sites AZ CC:1:89 and AZ CC:2:299 belong to a large cultural complex containing 29 sites located in Maricopa County, Arizona, near the Gila River approximately 160 miles east of Phoenix. Both sites are thought to have been prehistoric. Site AZ CC:1:89 consists of rock ring features associated with a low density sherd and lithic scatter, while site AZ CC:2:299 is probably a prehistoric horticultural site that also contains seven rock piles and a chipped-stone scatter. Four samples collected...

Both sites 24BH2317 and 24BH2613 are located in southeastern Montana on the west side of the present Tongue River Reservoir. Site 24BH2317 is a tipi ring campsite located on the upland, moderately rolling short grass and sagebrush prairie bordering the flooded valley of the Tongue River. This site appears to have a radiocarbon date of 3930 + 60 BP, indicating a McKean occupation. Four pollen samples were collected stratigraphically from the fill within Stone Circle 6 to identify vegetation...

Two samples, representing fill from a single hearth at depths of 24 and 40 cm, respectively, were collected in a pit structure to determine if there is evidence of processing plants.

The Crescent Site, 48SW13552, is a camp site located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Thirty-seven features were recorded during the excavation of two block sets at the site. A backhoe trench was also placed on a north-south trajectory through the middle of the site. Radiocarbon dating of features indicate three distinct phases associated with the cultural component of the site, which were subsequently identified as the Opal Phase, the Pine Springs Phase, and the Uinta Phase. Thirteen...

Six pollen samples, collected from three archaeological sites, were examined to provide information concerning possible processing activities associated with the use of the pits represented. All three sites are located in the area surrounding Clark Wash near Glade Park in Mesa County, Colorado. Radiocarbon ages place occupation of these sites within the past approximately 1700 years, with the most recent age being approximately 150 BP.

Twelve pollen samples were examined from sediments of a probable water collection facility in Morefield Canyon, Colorado. This study was designed to evaluate the deposition of sediments deposited into this facility to contribute to the interpretation of the function of this feature. These samples were selected from deposits with differing flow rates to compare the pollen contents of these sediments and to assist in identifying the origin of the sediments.

Pruitt Shelter No. 1 (3NW1308) is situated along a steep bluff face of the Buffalo River, Newton County, Arkansas. Site 3NW1308 is estimated to have been occupied during the Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene, as well as during the Early Archaic through the Late Mississippian, the latter represented by lithics recovered from the site. A midden that appears to have been deposited between approximately AD 600 and 1600 was sampled for pollen analysis.

Pollen and phytolith samples were examined from a variety of occupational proveniences within areas 8/9 and 14 at Pueblo Salado to examine the subsistence record. In addition to identifying vegetal elements of the subsistence base, examination of pollen from occupational proveniences provides evidence of patterns of economic activities. Pollen may contribute to an understanding of functional differentiation of space at Pueblo Salado, an element of Problem Domain I. Examination of the pollen...

The Zanardelli site (AZ 88:13:1) is a large Classic period site located on the east side of the Santa Cruz River. Composite floor samples were collected to observe the types of pollen deposited inside the structures. Although the original research design was oriented towards comparison of results from several phases within the Classic occupation, final assignment of occupation for the structures represented by pollen samples does not provide sufficient variety to note changes through time.

Site AZ EE:9:174, situated along the Santa Cruz River slightly north of the international border between Mexico and Arizona, exhibited several structures and at least one deep, bellshaped, extramural pit. Four pollen samples were selected as composite floor samples from structures to identify pollen representing plants growing in the vicinity of these sites during occupation and also to represent any plants processed in the structures. In addition, a fifth sample, from a large, deep,...

Site AZ T:12:413(ASM) contains evidence of occupation during at least the Pioneer, Sedentary, and Classic periods. Ceramics, which were primarily plainware, did not provide good temporal resolution. The area probably was used for farming and related activities over a period of centuries. Pollen samples were collected from a variety of locations at this site, and samples were selected for analysis from the Pioneer, Sedentary, and Classic periods. The samples represent a variety of protein in...

Three pollen samples collected from a presumed lithic quarry site (CA-SDI-13,655) were examined to provide information concerning local vegetation from the present and at two points in the past. At present, no cultural affiliation has been ascribed to this site located in the western foothills of the Santa Margarita Mountains.

Seven pollen samples were collected and analyzed from two Ritter Ranch sites (CA-LAN- 959 and CA-LAN-953), located near Palmdale, California. Of the seven pollen samples analyzed, six were recovered from diffuse midden areas located on the two sites. The seventh pollen sample was collected from the surface at an offsite location and serves as the control for this study. Pollen analysis was used to provide information concerning possible plant resources processed and/or utilized at the...
