Macrobotanical Analysis (Other Keyword)
51-75 (97 Records)
Four macrofloral samples were submitted for analysis from CA-ORA-3221/1118. Upon receipt of a prehistoric date for shells from the shell midden and a recent historic date for charred seeds, this project was canceled. Information presented below represents analysis completed prior to cancellation. All four macrofloral samples submitted were floated and one sample had been sorted and inventoried prior to cancellation of this project.

A Macrofossil Test of a High Country Adaptation Model in Routt National Forest (1981)
Seven soil samples were submitted for macrofossil analysis from four lithic scatters on the east side of Routt National Forest in north-central Colorado. These sites are located in the north-west corner of Grand County along Muddy Creek, north of Lake Agnes and close to Rabbit Ears Pass. They lie within the lower portion of the subalpine zone at an elevation of 9500-9600 feet. The emphasis during the analysis of the flotation samples submitted by Centuries Research, Inc. was on determining the...
Micro Analyses of 17th Century Adobe Bricks from the “New” Church at Pecos, New Mexico (2015)
The clash of Pueblo farmers and Spanish missionaries in central New Mexico marks the transition from prehistoric maize farming to the modern era along the Rio Grande River. The interaction between Native Americans and Spanish was not totally either peaceful or confrontational. The first church, built in the 1620s, was later burned during the Pueblo Revolt when Spanish were forced to leave, then rebuilt when relations improved. Four bricks from the new church (Mission de Nuestra Senora de los...

PALYNOLOGICAL, PHYTOLITH, AND MACROFLORAL INVESTIGATIONS (1986)
Very little evidence to reconstruct the paleoenvironment exists for this area of Wyoming. The paleoenvironment may be addressed through several different data bases, including the pollen and phytolith records, which are discussed here. A limited amount of stratigraphic pollen analysis has been completed in this area, from which the paleoenvironment may be interpreted, although no stratigraphic phytolith analysis has been undertaken for this area. Archaeological sites 48FR1468 and 48FR1602,...
PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM THE VALENTINE CACHE #3 SITE (05-01-53-377), LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2013)
The Valentine Cache #3 Site (05-01-53-377), located in southwestern Los Angeles County, California, consists of five granitic stone circular features.

POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT THE HINES SITE, 35HA2692, OREGON (1998)
The Hines Site (35HA2692) represents a Late Holocene temporary campsite located in Harney Basin in southeastern Oregon. A single radiocarbon age of 1220 ± 60 BP is reported for a small hearth at this site. Four pollen and 26 macrofloral samples were examined from column and/or cultural samples. Pollen analysis concentrated on identifying vegetation associated with a Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene lake, while macrofloral samples represent archaeological deposits at the site.

Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide prehistoric subsistence information.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT THE LAMB SPRINGS SITE, COLORADO (1982)
Pollen and macrofloral analyses at the Lamb Springs site on the plains near Denver, Colorado focused on the interpretation of paleoenvironmental conditions. Marshy plants were dominant in the immediate vicinity of the springs and included grasses and sedges during the earliest levels tested. The riparian community associated with the spring changed to a sumpweed dominated situation during the Cody occupation. Significant differences in long distance transport of pine pollen from the Front Range...
