301-325 (447 Records)
Study of 97 pollen samples suggests that pollen occurs in sufficient quantity for analysis, that economic pollen types occur, and that pollen sequences indicate paleoenvironmental changes over time. An extraction technique for recovering sufficient pollen for analysis is described for samples dominated by coral sand particles. 29 pollen taxa were recognized in the analysis of a series of samples from a Futuna Island rockshelter.
Palynological Investigations of Cache River Project Sediment Samples (1974)
Study of the pollen of 10 archaeological-context samples was limited to observation of number of grains per sample. Results suggest further research would be difficult because of low pollen concentrations, but of archaeological value for chronological control if certain conditions were met.
Palynological Records of Joe's Valley Alcove: a Multicomponent Site in Southeastern Utah (1974)
Palynological study of 18 samples, including 5 associated with Archaic Period radiocarbon dates and 1 associated with Fremont Culture artifacts, identifies a pollen sequence for the site. The inferred paleoclimatic sequence fully agrees with dated sequences from central New Mexico and the Llano Estacado (NM-TX).
Palynological Research Related to the Oaxaca Project (1971)
Summaries of field and laboratory work undertaken 1967-70. Supplemental report by S. Kitchen (Fish) on study of surface samples is incomplete.
Palynological Study of Sediment Samples from La Planta, Puerto Rico (1988)
Pilot study suggests Puerto Rican archaeological-context sediment samples contain pollen but further research will be needed to develop a cost-effective extraction technique, and many samples may not have adequate pollen concentrations to justify paleoenvironmental interpretation.
Palynological Study of the Slusher Estate (1981)
Draft of the paper published in Frierman, J.D., (1982), "The Ontiveros Adobe: Early Rancho Life in Alta California." Roberta Greenwood Associates, Pacific Palisades. Includes tables of pollen observations.
Palynological Test of AZ U:16:6 (ASU) (1980)
Pilot study of 6 samples from an Archaic Period site to establish pollen concentration values, preservation problems, variety and frequency of taxa, necessity of unusual laboratory investment, and implications for further research.
Palynology and Landuse Reconstruction at Tatton Park, Cheshire (1999)
Sediment samples associated with a Mesolithic site on the shore of Tatton Mere contain pollen "downwashed" through the deposits since establishment of a soil on an aeolian dune that developed at the locale in Romano-British times. Application of the method suggested in Schoenwetter, 1990, "Method for the Application of Pollen Analysis in Landscape Archaeology," allows interpretation of the pollen sequence in terms of changes in local landuse. The result is wholly consistant with the sequence of...
Palynology of the Koster Site: First Report (1971)
Results of pilot pollen study suggests further research would be relevant to on-going and planned archaeological study at this site. Also see unpublished report of subsequent palynological research 1974.
Patterns of Maya Jade Disposal at Blue Creek, Belize (2004)
Jade was the most valued material in the Classic Maya world. Large numbers of jade artifacts have been recovered from diverse contexts from the Maya site of Blue Creek, Belize. This database allows for analysis of the distribution and disposal of jade artifacts. Further, jade’s role in Classic Maya political economies is unclear, with views alternating between jade having functioned as a currency and jade having been controlled by royal elites. The Blue Creek database is used to test the...

Phoenix Basin Archaeology: Intersections, Pathways Through Time
The Intersections project is an electronic archive of the archaeological monographs written for archaeological projects conducted at Hohokam sites on Canal System Two and funded by the Federal and Arizona departments of transportation. The searchable electronic archive includes the contents of about 37 separate volumes reporting on the findings of 11 different archaeological projects. The Intersections project was funded by the Federal Highway Administration through the Arizona Department of...
Photographs (1985)
Photographs are one of the few remaining ways to examine the now inundated archaeological sites in the DAP. Photographic images add context to specific aspects of Anasazi life in the DAP area; in a sense, DAP photography "provides the investigator with ways to understand the spatial integration of households and communities" (Wilshusen et al. 1999:115). Only a fraction of all photographs taken during the project can be found in the published series of DAP reports. Individuals wishing to access...
Picacho Reservoir Archaic Project, Annual Report, September 22, 1983 - September 30, 1984 (1985)
The first year of activity on the Picacho Reservoir Archaic Project, or Phase A of the Tucson Aqueduct Cultural Resource Mitigative Data Recovery-Archaic and Lithic Quarry Sites Project, spanned the period from September 22, 1983 to September 30, 1984. The annual report summarizes the field investigations and research efforts at the designated Archaic and quarry sites. An interim evaluation of the artifactual and ecofactual data is presented, and research directions for the coming year are...
Pilot Pollen Study at Acoma Pueblo (1990)
Pilot study suggests archaeological-context pollen research may be applied to determining local irrigation history and early historic water rights.

Pollen Analysis at 4-MAD-223 (1976)
Attempt to recover pollen from two surface and a stratified series of archaeological-context samples was only successful for most recently deposited sediments. Moss polster and surface sediment samples yielded statistically comparable pollen spectra.

Pollen Analysis in the Wetherill Mesa Region (1960)
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1960. Illustration of five types of archaeologically relevant information from pollen study of site-context sediment samples: which sites do and do not yield pollen data; intra-site cross-dating of sample proveniences; information on cultivated plants; and relationships of cultural activities to environmental conditions.
A Pollen Analysis of a Hudson's Bay Company Non-garden Provenience, Fort Vancouver, Washington
The Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research at the University of Massachusetts Boston conducted a palynological analysis on six contiguous soil samples that were collected from the Fort Vancouver site. The samples were recovered from a location associated with the Hudson Bay Company's occupation that is situated in close proximity to what is today Fort Vancouver's Visitors Center, which is scheduled to undergo extensive renovations in the near future (Dorset 2010 Pers. Comm.)....
