POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AT SITE 42GR3164 ON THE PROFESSOR VALLEY RANCH, SOUTHEAST UTAH (2004)
A soil column at site 42GR3164 in the Professor Valley Ranch, southeast Utah, was sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. The soil column was placed in an area that is believed to have been the location where a large comer-notched knife made of gray chert was previously found by workers installing an irrigation pipe in a hayfield, and it appeared to be at the edge of prehistoric site 42GR3164, which had been recorded at an earlier date. The irrigation pipe trench was re-opened, and a...

Site 48AB18 represents a buried prehistoric occupation on the top and north side of north-trending Strouss Hill in southeast Wyoming. First identified in 1980, this site has a long history of archaeological investigation. The upper component was radiocarbon dated to 1555 ± 75 BP during a previous investigation, while the lower component is anchored by recovery of a McKean-type point suggesting occupation during the Middle Archaic. Three pieces of groundstone were washed to recover pollen,...
