Forty-eight pollen samples were examined from a stratigraphic core collected from the fill of a broad sink hole that appeared to be somewhat mature on the Ft. Campbell property in southwest Kentucky. This core was collected because fill in the sink hole was believed to represent the entire Holocene. The base of the core appears to be bedrock. Pollen samples were examined at varying intervals, depending on stratigraphy in the core, to provide a stratigraphic record of vegetation throughout...

A red quartzite metate with a single grinding facet was recovered from a ridge top in Moffat County, Colorado. The ground surface of the metate was found face down, and although the metate was recovered from the present day ground surface, it is believed to be in situ. The circumstances of recovery lead to exploratory pollen and starch analysis in an attempt to provide information regarding the utilization of the artifact.
