Six bulk soil samples and one sample suitable for palynological analysis were submitted to the Fiske Center from a turn-of-the-century tenement boarding house yard in Manchester, New Hampshire. The six soil samples were submitted as pairs of samples taken from both 19th and 20th-century strata in order to examine change in landscape use over time. Macrobotanical analysis found high levels of weedy and ruderal plants in 19th-century context, as well as evidence of low-growing wild fruits such as...

Eighteen soil samples from Feature 44FX762/43 (the Upper Garden Area) at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens in Virginia were submitted to the Fiske Center for palynological analysis in order to aid archaeologists in their reconstruction of this historic garden. While some samples were not suitable for environmental reconstruction due to poor preservation, many economic and ornamental taxa were recovered, as well as a full spectrum of ambient pollen rain. The presence of such...

Nineteen soil samples from Site B, an early nineteenth-century site located in Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest (Virginia) were submitted to the Fiske Center for palynological analysis. Over 100 distinct taxa were recovered from the eleven samples that were considered to be well preserved enough to allow for a representative reconstruction of past environmental conditions. When viewed collectively, the recovered taxa describe a landscape consisting of both managed ornamental grounds and areas of...

Twenty two soil samples from two prehistoric (Middle Archaic to Woodland) Native American sites in Broome County, New York, were submitted to the Fiske Center for palynological analysis. Within these samples, 72 taxa were identified, providing evidence of a changing landscape which was shaped by human land management strategies, including controlled burning and the intentional cultivation of maize (Zea mays) as a food crop.

Nineteen soil samples from a historic greenhouse and slave quarter context located at the Wye House Plantation in Maryland were submitted to the Fiske Center for palynological analysis. Over 120 distinct taxa were identified, including many ornamental taxa such as Hibiscus sp. (Hibiscus) and Citrus sp. (lemons, limes and oranges) as well as a full spectrum of ambient pollen rain. Analysis of samples from the slave quarters suggested the possible utilization and/or consumption of plants such as...

This is one of nine volumes of reports on archaeology conducted for the United States Bureau of Reclamation along the route of the Salt-Gila Aqueduct, a component of the Central Arizona Project extending a distance of 58 miles from east of Phoenix, Arizona, to the Picacho Reservoir area. Eight prehistoric habitation sites were excavated in the Florence, Arizona area, as a part of this project, representing Colonial through Classic Period Hohokam occupations in this area. This volume includes...

The results of data recovery conducted for the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region at six prehistoric sites in the Hart Mine and Cibola Quarry areas are presented in this report. The Bureau of Reclamation plans to use the Hart Mine and Cibola Quarry areas to mine rip-rap for use along the Colorado River. The project area is located at the base of the Trigo mountains about 20 miles south of Ehrenberg, Arizona. Three of the sites are composed primarily of lithic debitage and cores. These...

This report describes and interprets the faunal and botanical remains recovered during intensive archaeological testing at the Kirk Street Agents’ House in Lowell, Massachusetts. The faunal specimens represent the remnants of household trash discarded in the yard by residents. Cattle, pig, rat, chicken, turkey, fish and caprine (sheep/goat) bones were recovered from the deposits, as well as bivalve shells and human teeth. Eight hundred and seventy-four macrobotanical remains were also...

Six flotation samples and one palynological sample from prehistoric contexts at the Saugus Iron Works site in Massachusetts were submitted to the Fiske Center for macrobotanical and palynological assessment and analysis. The palynological sample's low pollen grain density and high proportion of Liguliforae pollen suggested that attempting an accurate vegetation reconstruction at this site through palynological analysis may be impossible due to weathering and preservation concerns. While...
