Pollen Analyses
401-425 (715 Records)
Three sites near Navajo, Arizona, were examined for their pollen and macrofloral remains as part of the Coronado Railroad Project. Occupations at AZ K:14:32 (ASM) and AZ K:14:33 (ASM) included primarily Basketmaker III and Pueblo I, while the occupation at AZ K:14:35 (ASM) represents Pueblo II. Pollen and macrofloral samples were examined from a variety of features both inside and outside pithouses to define the subsistence base at these sites. In addition, the pollen record assists in...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR THE ROADKILL SITE, 42KA4859, UTAH (2002)
Samples from the Road Kill site, 42KA4859, in central Kane County, southern Utah, were sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site is a medium-sized Puebloan farmstead with a single linear alignment of storage cists with associated habitation rooms. Occupation appears to have been episodic, based on the complex construction for the alignment combined with evidence for recycling of construction materials and the abandonment of structures on site while use continued elsewhere (Doug...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR THE SAND HOLLOW PROJECT, SITES 42WS2820, 42WS2810, 42WS2823, AND 42WS2827, UTAH (1999)

Stratigraphic samples were collected from three sites to provide an accurate view of paleoenvironmental conditions in the vicinity of Gray's Pasture at Island-in-the-Sky during...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF A BOG SAMPLE FROM WILLIAMS PRAIRIE, OREGON (1999)
Single pollen and macrofloral samples were collected from Bog 2 for analysis to identify plants growing in this area. William's Prairie is a meadow complex on the upper Crooked River drainage approximately 320 acres in size. Years of overgrazing and nearby logging activities have affected the local vegetation. The decline of hard woods, degradation of beaver habitat, and reduction of water table are most notable. Formerly, William's Prairie was a wet meadow with two main channels running in...

POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SEVERAL HEARTH FEATURES FROM WHITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT, NEW MEXICO (2003)
White Sands National Monument is located in the Tularosa Valley of south-central New Mexico. The Monument is situated entirely within the northern reaches of the Chihuahuan Desertscrub biome. Because the Tularosa Basin has no external drainage, plants tend to be dominated by halophytic types including four-wing saltbush, and alkalai sacaton. The water table in the basin is perched upon an impermeable clay layer that allows plant types such as sumac and cottonwood, normally found in more...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF THE FILL FROM A SMALL THERMAL FEATURE AT SITE 10EL217, IDAHO (2010)
Fill from a small thermal feature at site 10EL17 in southern Idaho was examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This feature exhibited a cluster of river cobbles, many of which were thermally altered, and it is believed to be a hearth or possible roasting feature associated with a late prehistoric Shoshone occupation. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the prehistoric occupants of the site.
