MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS (PHYTOLITH AND COB MEASUREMENTS) OF A CORN COB FROM A FREMONT GRANARY AT 5MF2723, WESTERN COLORADO (2001)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman. Linda Scott Cummings.

An uncharred corn cob from 5MF2723 in western Colorado was submitted for phytolith analysis. Measurements were taken prior to analysis and a portion of the cob was submitted for radiocarbon analysis. This cob is associated with a slab-lined cist (granary) located inside a small opening in the rocks above the Green River in the Gates of LaDore Canyon. This cob yielded an uncalibrated radiocarbon age of 700 ± 30 years BP (CAMS-79943), indicating a Fremont occupation. Phytolith analysis...

Morphometric Analysis and the Investigation of Communities of Stone Toolmakers (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Vanessa Hanvey.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper will explore the usefulness of morphometric analysis when investigating how communities of stone toolmakers are embedded in and help construct their social landscape. Utilizing the concept of communities of practice, I intend to examine the culturally and historically situated nature of stone toolmakers through the analysis of their products....

POLLEN, STARCH, MACROFLORAL, AND CORN COB ANALYSES AT THE KUCK SITE (5RB3157), RIO BLANCO COUNTY, COLORADO (2001)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Kathryn Puseman. Laura Buethel.

Pollen analysis of samples from Kuck Rock Shelter, site 5RB3157, in northwestern Colorado focuses on examination of hearths, ash pits, a mano, and several clay chinking fragments. This study provides a base framework for examination of prehistoric vegetation and Fremont resource use through pollen analysis. Macrofloral samples were examined from the lower fill of a clay-lined hearth to identify economic activity associated with this feature. A single pollen sample was collected from the use...
