Pollen and macrofloral remains of three packrat middens, an olla, resin from an olla lid, and several control samples were analyzed in conjunction with archaeological mitigation of two sites, AZR:I0:30(ASM) and AZR:I0:31(ASM), located near Blythe, Arizona. The data were collected for the purpose of interpreting the paleoenvironment at the time of occupation. In addition, data were sought to identify the contents of the two ollas from different sites. Very little is presently known about...

POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES IN THE WIC MEDICINE BOW LATERAL PIPELINE PROJECT, WYOMING (2002)
Samples from features at six sites for the WIC Medicine Bow Lateral Pipeline Project in southeast Wyoming were examined for macrofloral remains. Seven ground stone samples from 48C02672 also were washed for pollen. These sites represent several occupations ranging from 5390 to 210 BP. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the various occupants of these sites.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE COAL STREET EXTENSION PROJECT, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA (2001)
Two sediment samples were collected from depths of 9 feet and 10-11 feet below the surface, apparently within prehistoric fill of a backhoe trench for the Coal Street Extension. Pollen and macrofloral analysis were conducted on these samples to identify plants represented in these records and to examine the record of vegetation. In addition, analysis of these samples was considered exploratory because pollen analysis had not been attempted on sediments from this area previously.
