Pruitt Shelter No. 1 (3NW1308) is situated along a steep bluff face of the Buffalo River, Newton County, Arkansas. Site 3NW1308 is estimated to have been occupied during the Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene, as well as during the Early Archaic through the Late Mississippian, the latter represented by lithics recovered from the site. A midden that appears to have been deposited between approximately AD 600 and 1600 was sampled for pollen analysis.

Pollen and phytolith samples were examined from a variety of occupational proveniences within areas 8/9 and 14 at Pueblo Salado to examine the subsistence record. In addition to identifying vegetal elements of the subsistence base, examination of pollen from occupational proveniences provides evidence of patterns of economic activities. Pollen may contribute to an understanding of functional differentiation of space at Pueblo Salado, an element of Problem Domain I. Examination of the pollen...

The Zanardelli site (AZ 88:13:1) is a large Classic period site located on the east side of the Santa Cruz River. Composite floor samples were collected to observe the types of pollen deposited inside the structures. Although the original research design was oriented towards comparison of results from several phases within the Classic occupation, final assignment of occupation for the structures represented by pollen samples does not provide sufficient variety to note changes through time.

Site AZ EE:9:174, situated along the Santa Cruz River slightly north of the international border between Mexico and Arizona, exhibited several structures and at least one deep, bellshaped, extramural pit. Four pollen samples were selected as composite floor samples from structures to identify pollen representing plants growing in the vicinity of these sites during occupation and also to represent any plants processed in the structures. In addition, a fifth sample, from a large, deep,...

Site AZ T:12:413(ASM) contains evidence of occupation during at least the Pioneer, Sedentary, and Classic periods. Ceramics, which were primarily plainware, did not provide good temporal resolution. The area probably was used for farming and related activities over a period of centuries. Pollen samples were collected from a variety of locations at this site, and samples were selected for analysis from the Pioneer, Sedentary, and Classic periods. The samples represent a variety of protein in...

Three pollen samples collected from a presumed lithic quarry site (CA-SDI-13,655) were examined to provide information concerning local vegetation from the present and at two points in the past. At present, no cultural affiliation has been ascribed to this site located in the western foothills of the Santa Margarita Mountains.

Thirteen stratigraphic samples were submitted for pollen analysis from site 36WO80, Deer Park, Pennsylvania. The site is located along Tunkhannock Creek in Wyoming County. The stratigraphic record, including some flood episodes, represents an period of sediment accumulation during the Mid-to-Late-Archaic, based on recovery of projectile points.

One soil sample from Site 48SU6933, the Gobblers Know 327 site, was submitted for examination of pollen remains. This prehistoric open camp is located in Sublette County, southwestern Wyoming. Radiocarbon dates from two features at this site returned dates of 3660 ± 40 YBP and 5380 ± 40 YBP, indicating occupation of this site during the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic period, and the Opal phase of the Early Archaic period (Joni Stainbrook, personal communication, December 6, 2010). Pollen...

During the construction monitor of the Wexpro Company Musser 31, 38, 39, and Carl Allen 37 well pad in the Vermillion Basin of northwestern Colorado, features were discovered that were identified as part of sites 5MF6875 and 5MF7411. Feature 16 yielded a radiocarbon age of 5750 ± 40 BP and has been associated with nearby site 5MF6875. The other four features dated between 860 ± 30 BP and 1690 ± 30 BP. Pollen analysis was undertaken on fill from each of these features in an effort to identify...

Two pollen samples were collected and examined from Feature T-11212011-2C, which is a small rock mound that probably represents an agricultural feature on the island of Lanai’i, Hawai’i. The feature is situated on a soil-covered-lava-slope on the North Shore. Pollen analysis was undertaken to identify probable agricultural crops grown in this location.

Two samples from cylindrilical deep basin hearths and one sample from a housepit floor from Carbon County, Wyoming were submitted for pollen analysis. The site, 48CR5699, consists of a multiple housepits and a community area located along a bench of an unnamed tributary of Muddy Creek in south central Wyoming.

Seven soil samples from Batacosa SON:S:7:2 in Sonora, Mexico, were examined for pollen. Six of these samples were collected stratigraphically from Perfil 1, and the seventh represents fill from a burial. Ceramic seriation for this site indicates that it was occupied between AD 200 and 1500 by people of the Huatabampo culture. Pollen analysis of the stratigraphic samples provides information concerning local plant communities and the paleoenvironment, including documenting plants available for...

Seven samples from hearth and posthole fill at the Shadow Site (48SW11618) in southwestern Wyoming were examined for pollen. The samples represent a Late Uinta Phase Prehistoric component, and radiocarbon testing of charcoal from Feature 1 returned a 2-sigma calibrated date of 1300 to 1170 B.P. (Beta-208787).

Fill samples from two occupation periods at a site in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, were collected from hearths and analyzed. Radiocarbon dates obtained on charred remains from the hearths implied three separate use events at the site. Samples from Occupation 1 and Occupation 3 were sampled for pollen in search of evidence of plant processing activities.

Site 8HN54 includes two former tree islands that exhibit middens and represents occupation between Glades I and late Glades II (Ad 500-1100). Stratigraphic samples collected from these two former tree islands in the Everglades were examined for pollen to obtain information concerning climate change and available plant resources.

The La Lomita site (AZ U:9:67) and the Germann site (AZ U:10:2) are large Hohokam Village sites located in modern-day Phoenix, Arizona. Both areas have undergone repeated archaeological investigations. The La Lomita site represents occupation from at least the late Santa Cruz through middle Sacaton phases, while the Germann Site dates to the late Pioneer through Classic periods. Pollen analysis at these sites is limited to five samples from the La Lomita site and two samples from the...

Stratigraphic pollen analysis was undertaken at sites CA-SDI-316, CA-SDI-317, and CASDI-4935B, located within the C. W. Harris Site Archaeological District of the Starwood Project Area in Santa Fe Valley, to identify past vegetation. Pollen samples were collected at 10 cm intervals. In addition, pollen analysis can contribute to an evaluation of the degree of disturbance of deposits containing cultural materials because pollen from plants introduced during the historic era is usually very...

A few sediment samples from Trench 40 and Core 2, outside a fishpond at the Coco Palms Site on Kaua’i, were examined for pollen and microcharcoal to provide information concerning use of this area during the past. Since the sediments were collected outside the fishpond, which had been dredged, they might represent earlier fishpond deposits from a time when the fishpond was larger than it is today. Radiocarbon ages returned for several samples indicate an age of 1440-1640 A.D. associated...

The Darkmold Site, 5LP4991, represents Basketmaker II and Basketmaker III occupations in the Animal River Valley north of Durango, Colorado. A suite of ten sediment samples were submitted for pollen analysis. Eight of these samples were collected from features, three of which contained burials. The remaining two samples were collected from stratigraphic contexts for the purpose of providing environmental information and controls that would assist in the interpretation of the feature samples.
