Thermal Feature Fill (Other Keyword)
1-4 (4 Records)
A total of 15 floated light fractions from sites SW 431.54 (LA138977), SW 431.59 (LA138982) and SW 431.60 (LA138983) on the Lee Ranch Mine in northwest New Mexico were examined for macrofloral remains. These samples represent a Late Archaic/Basketmaker midden area in front of a rockshelter and two thermal features (431.54), a historic ash dump/midden area with associated thermal features (431.59), and a Middle Archaic San Jose thermal feature (431.60). Macrofloral analysis is used to provide...
MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF FILL FROM A THERMAL FEATURE AT SITE 42IN853 IN THE CROSS HOLLOW HILLS PROJECT AREA, SOUTHWEST UTAH (2006)
A single macrofloral sample was recovered from a thermal feature at site 42In853 in the Cross Hollow Hills Project Area, southwest Utah. This site consists of an artifact scatter and the buried thermal feature. It has been postulated that the site was used for biface reduction. Charcoal from the thermal feature yielded a 2-sigma calibrated radiocarbon age of AD 530-720 and AD 740-760 (Beta 209123). Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide information concerning possible plant resources...
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES ALONG US HIGHWAY 491, WESTERN NEW MEXICO (2004)
Phytolith analysis was conducted on samples from eight archaeological sites along US Highway 491 in western New Mexico. Analysis was undertaken to provide information concerning both the past environment and subsistence activities at these testing phase sites that varied in age from approximately 4490 BC until AD1670/1950.
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, AND WOOD IDENTIFICATION AT 888M, SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO (2004)
Excavation project 888M is located east of the Pecos River in southeastern New Mexico in the Mescalero Sands. The site is located within the parabolic dune setting of the sand sheet. Two thermal features, with no associated artifacts, were discovered during ground clearing activities for the preparation of a well pad. Feature 1 dated to 1400 ± 60 radiocarbon years BP, and Feature 2 dated to 1280 ± 60 RCYBP. Two macrofloral and one pollen sample from Feature 1 and two macrofloral and two...
