A single sample collected from soil known as Feature 2 or stratum F on Lot 4, Block 39 in Skagway was submitted for pollen and phytolith analysis. A house stood on this lot between approximately 1918 and 1936, then was demolished. Pollen and phytolith analyses were undertaken in an attempt to identify the soil’s origins.

One sediment sample from a 50 mm diameter core sample taken from the Sibley Site 1, Squaw Bay, Ontario, was collected and submitted for pollen analysis. The core exhibited rhythmic clay with visible dark and light bands. A portion of the core was AMS radiocarbon dated, producing an age of 13,800 ± 60 14C BP (Fred Dean, personal communication, September 6, 2018). The sample was submitted to identify the local vegetation around Lake Superior during the late Pleistocene.

A sediment core and three bulk samples collected from beneath the Gold Wreck at the Douglas Beach Site in 1978 represent prehistoric sediments beneath later Spanish material. The core was collected approximately one meter below the existing beach sand in approximately 12-15 feet of water. Three bulk samples were collected for analysis above the core. A dark, organic layer was included in the core, which may represent a backwater lagoon. The present backwater lagoon is located behind a...

A single soil sample was collected from a test unit at the Skull Site 1 in Weathermen Draw, south-central Montana. Weathermen Draw, owned by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, is characterized by numerous deep canyons extending from a central ridge and plateau. Pollen analysis was conducted on this sample to establish a record of vegetation associated with the bison skull for which this site was named.

Site 44FX113 is located in Fairfax County, Virginia on the upland portion of the Coastal Plain Province. Within the site is an isolated planting bed. Although the site is historic, there are no records indicating the use of an isolated planting bed as a flower garden, kitchen garden, or a combination of the two. A sediment sample was taken from the planting bed situated in Feature 17-5 in Unit S98W25 approximately 1.25 feet beneath the modern ground surface and within 100 feet of a domestic...

A single pollen sample collected from a pit (Feature 1) at AZ BB:6:50 (ASM), was analyzed for pollen. The site is located at an elevation of approximately 4000 feet on a bajada between Oracle and San Manuel to the northeast of Tucson. The area is heavily dissected. Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to define activities in the pit.

A single pollen sample was collected from the base of a roasting pit, which was thought to be prehistoric at the time of excavation. The Hemenway Expedition field camp was noted to be located in the general vicinity of this site. Severe historic and modern disturbances were also noted to this area, including agricultural cultivation and plowing since the late 1800s. The pollen sample was collected and analyzed in an effort to provide subsistence data concerning use of the roasting pit.

Hammond Draw Cave (5RB4254) is a rock shelter located east of the town of Rangely in northwestern Colorado. A single soil sample, collected from floor deposits within this small rock shelter was submitted for pollen analysis. A charcoal sample from this same area and level returned a radiocarbon date of 1280 ± 60 BP.

A single pollen sample was collected at a depth between 1.6 and 1.8 m below the surface in an industrial area of Honolulu at the Makoloa Electrical substation on Makaloa Street. Pollen analysis was undertaken to provide information as to whether this area had functioned as a fishpond and whether or not it contained pollen from European-introduced plants.

Eight pollen samples were collected from a sinkhole 2 m in diameter and 2 m deep at site #50-Oa-B6-2BO. At the time of occupation, during historic times, this area of the Ewa Plain was used as a seasonal fishing/habitation area. Small vegetable gardens were planted where possible on the bedrock or in shallow sinkholes. The pollen samples were collected stratigraphically from the sinkhole in an effort to obtain information concerning the vegetation in this area, and identify any evidence...

Site 48SW13156 is a buried, open camp site, containing numerous features and stains dating to between 9430±40 and 8150±40 RCYBP. All of the features were noted in the lower portion of stratum A or the upper portion of stratum E. Two modern samples, collected from different modern vegetation communities, were analyzed as controls for the site. Eleven stratigraphic samples collected at ten centimeter intervals from a buried A horizon that overlaid the cultural A stratum 90wn through stratum K...

Pollen analysis of four adobe blocks from Pio Pico's El Ranchito was designed to place these adobe bricks in their proper historical perspective. Three of the adobe bricks were from areas of the site with known building episodes. The fourth brick was from an adobe that was part of a wall that was not securely dated. Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to compare the pollen records of these individual bricks and assign a date for the fourth date based on its similarity to one of the...

Pollen samples were collected in conjunction with the archaeological survey of an historic settlement on the edge of West Loch in the flood plain of the Honouliuli Stream. Pollen samples were collected from trenches through areas that displayed probable fishpond or pond field sediments. These locations have been identified with the assistance of both historic information and examination of the sediments. Pollen analysis was oriented toward the recovery of pollen types that would indicate...

Site AR 03-10-08-422 is an Archaic campsite located on a forested slope in Water Canyon, Los Alamos County, New Mexico. The site is situated on a southeast-facing slope at an elevation of about 8450 feet above sea level and displays elements of both the Transition and Canadian vegetation zones (Friedlander and Pinyan 1980). Weber (1976) assigns plants at this altitude to the Upper Montane and Lower Subalpine zones. A steep slope rises sharply from the northern edge of the site, and the...

A single sample from a gleyed, organic-rich sandy layer within deposits identified as representing a brackish estuary for the Maunalua 2 Project was examined for pollen in an effort to confirm that this area was used as a fish pond. In addition, pollen analysis has the potential to identify some of the local plants growing at the time this area was used.

Pollen samples were examined from two separate field seasons: 1993 and 2000. The first pollen study was undertaken to evaluate the potential for pollen recovery from a variety of proveniences such as abandoned agricultural fields, tecoates and travertine, as well as different types of soil horizons. Evidence of agriculture and accompanying agricultural weeds was sought in the agricultural samples. Recovery and identification of pollen was attempted and evaluated for samples from the...

This study of 23 pollen samples allows recognition of a sequence of ecosystem changes occurring in central New Mexico between A.D. 1280 and 1400 and also in the 1650 - 1750 period. It also discusses the effects of such changes on aboriginal maize agriculture. Draft of the report included in Archaeological Excavations at Pueblo del Encierro (1976).
