Pollen, starch, and phytolith analyses were conducted on two sediment samples reflecting Cultural Levels 2 and 3 from 24YE26. The site is located along the Yellowstone River upstream from 48YE762 and in the general vicinity of 48YE252, which is a Iate Archaic Pelican Lake occupation. Pollen, starch, and phytolith analyses were undertaken to identify evidence of local vegetation and the possibility that plants might have been processed in the area.
