151-175 (265 Records)
Preliminary examination of a few pollen and phytolith stratigraphic samples from archaeological site 36PE16 in eastern Pennsylvania indicated that both records provided sufficient material for further analysis. Therefore, additional pollen and phytolith samples were examined from strata in three test pits at sites 36PE16 and 36PE61 to describe vegetation change through time. These closely spaced samples track vegetation change during the accumulation of the individual sediment packages. The...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE AND POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF FEATURE FILL FROM THE EAGLE TREE SITE (48CO2920) IN THE POWDER RIVER BASIN, WYOMING (2014)

POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, STARCH, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM 42PI275, THE ZEVON II SITE, UTAH (2003)
Pollen and macrofloral analyses were conducted on numerous samples collected both inside and outside a shallow depression at the Zevon II site (42PI275), located near Circleville, Utah. These analyses focused on identifying plants that might have been processed by the Late Archaic to Early Formative or Fremont occupants of this site. In addition, the pollen record provides evidence of local vegetation at the time of occupation. Two human teeth found inside this depression were examined to...
