POLLEN ANALYSIS AND CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 48CR10499, CARBON COUNTY, WYOMING (2017)
Site 48CR10499, located in south-central Wyoming in the eastern portion of the Washakie Basin, is a hunter-gatherer open camp exhibiting evidence of two occupations, including one Early Archaic housepit. Component 2 yielded ten radiocarbon dates ranging from 5720 to 5180 BP, indicating an Opal Phase occupation. Component 1 comprises two distinct open camps dating to 1820 and 1530 BP.

POLLEN ANALYSIS AT 48YE701 AND RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF A GRINDING STONE FROM YELLOWSTONE LAKE, WYOMING (1990)
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT 48YE701: Three pollen samples were examined from 48YE701 on the north side of Yellowstone Lake. These pollen samples were collected as a groundstone wash, an associated soil sample, and from the present ground surface. Pollen was analyzed from the groundstone to determine which, if any, plants had been processed using this·metate. The associated soil sample and present ground surface sample acted as controls for interpretation of the wash from the groundstone. RESIDUE...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN THE BIG HORN BASIN AND BRIDGER MOUNTAINS, WYOMING AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES 48WA1453 AND 48WA1460 (1998)
Eight archaeological sites, representing Archaic and Late Prehistoric occupations in the Big Horn and Wind River Basins, were examined for pollen evidence of paleoenvironmental conditions and/or subsistence. In addition, two sites were analyzed for macrofloral remain evidence of subsistence. Comparison of the stratigraphic pollen records with geoarchaeological interpretations Increases the level of Interpretation for paleoenvironmental conditions during most of the Holocene. House floors,...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT ARCHAEOLOGICAL THREE SITES (5LA6568, 5LA6592, AND 5LA9595) IN THE PINON CANYON MANEUVER SITE, SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO (1997)
Twenty-one pollen samples were examined from three sites in Welsh Canyon within the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site in southwestern Colorado. A stratigraphic record was examined at the Piggyback Site (5LA6568) to provide information to compare with previous paleoenvironmental studies at the Sue Site (5LA5255) and a playa (Scott 1984), as well as geomorphic interpretations of paleoclimate (Schuldenrein 1985). Groundstone was abundant at some of the sites in Welsh Canyon. One hearth fill and six...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT FIVE SITES IN THE TOWOAC CANAL REACH II AREA, MONTEZUMA COUNTY, COLORADO (1990)
Five archaeological sites representing habitation or seasonal habitation in the area of Hovenweep Canyon were selected for pollen analysis. Occupation at these sites ranged from Basketmaker III to Pueblo III. Pollen samples were examined from structure floors, feature fill, groundstone, and a single "cloudblower" to identify economic activity at these sites.
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT FOUR SITES IN THE MICHAEL'S (CLO-CHEN-TOH) EXCHANGE, NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO (1983)
Four sites dating to the mid-1200s in the Michael's (Clo-Chen-Toh) Exchange were sampled for pollen during archaeological mitigation. The sites consist of pitstructures, masonary rooms, and jacal structures. Mealing bins and hearths were also noted as extra-mural features. These sites are located to the north of Ramah, New Mexico in a mixed conifer zone supporting ponderosa pine, pinyon pine, juniper, and oak at elevations between 7000 and 7100 feet. The study area is situated between the...
POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR SITES CA-SDI-316 AND CA-SDI-4935 ALONG THE SAN DIEGUITO RIVER, NORTHERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2000)
Stratigraphic pollen analysis was undertaken at both CA-SDI-316 and CA-SDI-4935 to identify past vegetation. In addition, pollen analysis can contribute to an evaluation of the degree of disturbance of deposits containing cultural materials because pollen from plants introduced during the historic era is usually very visible in the upper portion of stratigraphic columns in much of western California. Introduced Eucalyptus and Brassicaceae pollen are expected to be important in evaluating...
POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR SITES CA-SDI-316, CA-SDI-317, AND CA-SDI-4935B, ALONG THE SAN DIEGUITO RIVER, NORTHERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2004)
Stratigraphic pollen analysis was undertaken at sites CA-SDI-316, CA-SDI-317, and CASDI-4935B, located within the C. W. Harris Site Archaeological District of the Starwood Project Area in Santa Fe Valley, to identify past vegetation. Pollen samples were collected at 10 cm intervals. In addition, pollen analysis can contribute to an evaluation of the degree of disturbance of deposits containing cultural materials because pollen from plants introduced during the historic era is usually very...
POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR THE BIG CHICO CREEK ECOLOGICAL RESERVE, CALIFORNIA (2006)
Four sediment samples and a single ground stone from the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve were submitted for pollen and starch analysis. This area is part of the Chico State BCCER project. The sediment samples represent individual levels and comprise an informal stratigraphic record. Pollen analysis was undertaken to document prehistoric vegetation during the time represented by these sediments and to examine the metate surface for evidence of food processing.
POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR THE MARK TWAIN SITE (48SW13992), SOUTHWEST WYOMING (2003)
The Mark Twain site (48SW13992) exhibits evidence of at least three occupation components. The oldest component includes three hearths, two of which were excavated into the regolith immediately above bedrock. Feature 3 yielded a radiocarbon age of 4410 ± 50 B.P. (2 Sigma 5280-5170 B.P., 5130 - 5100 B.P., and 5080 - 4860 B.P.). Features 3 and 4, both from this occupation, were sampled for pollen (Table 1). The middle occupation is represented by Feature 5, a basin-shaped hearth, that yielded...
POLLEN ANALYSIS IN THE MICHAEL'S (CLO-CHEN-TOH) EXCHANGE, NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO (1989)
Pollen analysis at six sites represents part of the archaeological work on the Ramah Michael's, Land Exchange (the Clo-Chen-Toh Project). This joint venture between the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and the Cibola National Forest has provided pollen samples from several years excavations, ranging from 1983 through 1989. A previous study (Scott 1984) and this one have been combined to discuss the pollen record at these sites. Pollen samples represent the present ground...
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF A BURNED METATE FRAGMENT, 48SU1016, WYOMING (2002)
A single burned metate fragment, recovered from Hearth #4 at 48SU1016, was submitted for pollen analysis of a wash of the surface. This site remains undated at this writing, although a radiocarbon sample was submitted from this hearth. Feature #4 is a deep basin, partially lined with large, oxidized sandstone slabs, that yielded 34 gallons of fill. It is part of a large prehistoric site located along a ridge in the western portion of the Green River Basin.
