501-525 (715 Records)
A prehistoric open campsite, 48SU2326, located east of Sand Draw on a rolling plain, was excavated in association with pipeline trench construction. A cultural horizon (Stratum IIb) yielded evidence of a single occupation represented by numerous thermal basins (Brent Buenger, personal communication April 8, 2015). One modern surface sample and three stratigraphic samples, representing the cultural stratum and the strata immediately below and above it, were submitted for pollen analysis to...

POLLEN AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 5DA3208 AND 5DA3419, DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO (2018)
Sites 5DA3208 and 5DA3419 are located south of the town of Parker in Douglas County, Colorado. A 2017 excavation of Site 5DA3208 by ERO Resources revealed a multicomponent prehistoric open camp centered on a knoll overlooking Newlin Gulch (Marcus Espinosa, personal communication, November 21, 2018). Based upon identification of associated cultural materials, ERO suggests that Site 5DA3208 was most intensely occupied during the Late Archaic period. Additional evidence for Early Ceramic and Middle...

POLLEN INVESTIGATION IN MOKUHINIA FISHPOND, MAUI (1994)
Pollen samples were examined from Core 7, which was extracted from the base of the excavations at backhoe Trench 1, in the central portion of Mokuhinia Pond. Sediments recovered from this core between the ground water table at approximately 110 cm below the present ground surface, and 175 cm below the surface, were examined for pollen. Radiocarbon ages that may be associated with these sediments range from 290 +60 BP (AD 1459-1681) through 3020 +60 BP(BC 1406-1111). Pollen analysis of the...

Nine pollen, six phytolith, and six macrofloral samples were analyzed from site 26CK3601, Burnt Rock Spring Mound. Samples were recovered from undifferentiated midden fill encountered in three excavation units surrounding the spring mound. These samples were evaluated for potential local environmental information, seasonality information including seasonal rainfall patterns, changes in the vegetation community through time, and for evidence of plant domestication or plants exotic to the...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AMS RADICOARBON DATING, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES AT SITE 24RL0371 FOR THE BAKKEN PIPELINE PROJECT, EASTERN MONTANA (2012)
Fill from a hearth at site 24RL0371 in eastern Montana, near the North Dakota border, was examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Charcoal and charred botanics recovered from the hearth fill were submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. A projectile point also was examined for possible protein residues. This site is a pre-contact (Middle Archaic) lithic scatter and historic trash dump. The prehistoric component might have been used as a long-term or multi-seasonal campsite....

An El Paso brownware sherd from one of the midden features also was examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). This site is a long-term seasonal camp, and recovery of two brownware ceramic sherds indicate that the area was utilized by the Jornada Mogollon (AD 200-1400). The various analyses are used to gain...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND DIATOM ANALYSIS FROM PIPE SPRING NATIONAL MONUMENT, ARIZONA (2001)
Two sediment samples collected from a black, organic layer exposed in a trench at Pipe Spring National Monument, Arizona, were examined for pollen, diatoms, and/or macrofloral remains. This layer is believed to represent an intact, natural organic stratum that formed when water ponded at the mouth of the spring. Pollen, macrofloral, and diatom analyses will be used to define environmental information and local vegetation at the time this stratum was deposited. Pollen analysis provides evidence...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND FIBER IDENTIFICATION AT THE SANCHEZ COPPER DATA RECOVERY PROJECT, GRAHAM COUNTY, ARIZONA (1994)
Samples from features at several sites on the Sanchez Copper Data Recovery Project area in southeastern Arizona were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. In addition, two stone knives with fibrous plant materials adhering to them were submitted to identify the type of fibers present. These knives are believed to have been used for slicing agave. Features sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains include roasting pits, hearths, waffle gardens, rock piles, and rock rings. Pollen and...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS FROM SITES 42KA7714 AND 42KA7715, KANE COUNTY, UTAH (2015)
