The City of Phoenix (COP) Street Transportation Department (STD) is conducting road and storm drain improvements. The project will require the relocation of an existing Salt River Project (SRP) irrigation line, located on U.S. Bureau of Reclamation land. Because federal lands are involved, the project is considered a federal undertaking subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. It also follows applicable COP policies and requirements as...

Between October 2000 and January 2003, Desert Archaeology, Inc., conducted archaeological investigations at seven locations for the City of Tucson as part of the Rio Nuevo Archaeology project. The City of Tucson plans to revitalize the downtown area, including the re-creation of the historic San Agustín Mission and the Spanish Presidio fortress, as well as the construction of new homes and businesses. Excavations were conducted to either provide basic data for planned reconstructions, or to...

A shifted baseline is the intergenerational acceptance of the progressive degradation of a system as reflecting its natural state. Paleoecological analyses have revealed the long-term usage by humans of sites previously thought to be ‘pristine’. Analysis of lake sediments in remote areas of Panama and Ecuador revealed unexpected histories of land usage. In Ecuador, Lake Ayauch provided a record of maize agriculture from 6000 years BP. At Lake Wodehouse, in Panama, a 3300-year long record from an...

A total of five ground stones and one pestle were submitted for pollen, starch, protein residue, and organic residue (FTIR) analysis from site CA-MRP-305/H, located in the Yosemite Valley, and within the boundaries Yosemite National Park. This site is a milling station with contiguous deposits of pestles, handstones, and obsidian flakes. Archaeobotanical and organic residue analysis of these tools will provide information useful to the interpretation of ground stone tool function and subsistence...

Sixteen pollen samples were examined from a core taken at the Blackfoot Cave site, 5DA2358, in southeast Douglas County, Colorado. This rock shelter is unusual in that it has a permanent spring flowing from it, making it a very desirable location for extensive prehistoric and historic use. In 1859, the first house was built at the site. Artifacts attest to Archaic through Historic occupations. The core was taken from a small wetland area in the catch basin of the spring below the cave and...

Stratigraphic pollen analysis and macrophysical modeling were undertaken for site 33AD56 to provide a record of potential climate and actual vegetation during the Early, Middle, and Late Archaic time periods represented. In addition, single pollen samples were examined from occupational contexts at 33AD121 and 33AD124 in an effort to find evidence of food processing.

Twelve samples were collected stratigraphically at 10 cm intervals from sediments at 5LA6001. A human burial was recovered from this site and yielded a radiocarbon age of 820 + 130 BP. Pollen was also collected from fill in the burial pit for analysis. Pollen analysis of these samples provides an examination of past vegetation and paleoenvironmental conditions from prior to the time of burial to the present.

The King site (24PH2886) is located in the Little Rocky Mountains of north-central Montana. This site contains Pelican Lake components that have been consistently dated elsewhere between 2000 and 3500 BP. In addition, McKean Complex materials are noted that may be assigned to 3500 to 5000 BP. The upper cultural component is the Mortlach Composite, which commonly dates around AD 1600 to AD 1720. Pollen analysis was undertaken on two stratigraphic columns to provide information to identify past...

Site 10EL217, situated across the river from Bancroft Springs, lies on a terrace overlooking the Snake River in Pasadena Valley. The test unit was excavated into alluvial fan sediments that overlie the river terrace sediments. Previous radiocarbon analysis suggests this area has been occupied at least intermittently for the past 3,300 years. Deeply buried archaeological deposits were encountered in the southern portion of the site, while the northern portion of the site has been impacted by...

The Field Brook Project involves archaeological investigations for replacement of the bridge that carries S 1015 over Field Brook in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Excavations included five trenches, three of which were sampled stratigraphically for pollen. Upon examination of the stratigraphic sequence, two of these profiles were selected for pollen analysis (Columns 1 and 2). Stratigraphic pollen analysis was designed to provide a record of vegetation for individual levels within these...

Pollen samples were collected stratigraphically from Unidad 22 at the Paredones site in the Huaca Prieta project area, Peru. The Paredones site is located north of Huaca Prieta, between the Pacific Ocean and an ancient lagoon. This site did not exhibit the burning that characterized Huaca Preita.

The Bull Creek site, 34BV176, is located in the High Plains physiographic region of western Beaver County, Oklahoma. The site is located within the short grass prairie biome, and consists of the modern soil and a series of buried paleosols, dating from 11 ,070±60 RCYBP to the present. One of these strata, dated to 10,850+210 RCYBP, contained spirally fractured bison bone and flaked stone. This site is situated on a cutbank in a meander of Bull Creek. Pollen analysis of 34 stratigraphic samples...

Peat samples were examined at intervals of 10 centimeters from Corkscrew Swamp, Florida. Pollen samples represent the entire peat sequence in the Corkscrew Swamp, but the underlying marl was not sampled. The interface between the marl and peat has been dated to approximately 5000 BP by association with nearby dated profiles. Pollen analysis focused on identification of plants and changes in the plant communities near Corkscrew Swamp through time.

The Bull Creek North Site (34BV181) is located within 1 mile of the Bull Creek Site (34BV176). Thirty-four stratigraphic samples were examined for pollen from the Bull Creek site (Varney and Cummings 2004). Ten samples collected stratigraphically from Bull Creek North (34BV181) were examined for pollen. A radiocarbon age of 12300 ± 80 BP anchors the middle of the record in a clay loam stratum.

The Bull Creek site, 34BV176, is located in the High Plains physiographic region of western Beaver County, Oklahoma. The site is situated within the short grass prairie biome. Trees growing along Bull Creek today include elm, cottonwood, and hackberry. This series of sediments consists of the modern soil and a series of buried paleosols, dating from 13,210 RCYBP to the present. One of these strata, dated to 10,850K210 RCYBP, contained spirally fractured bison bone and flaked stone. The original...

Stratigraphic pollen samples recovered from a 5.85 m deep section located in a recent placer mine cut along the north margin of the Barton Gulch Valley were examined to identify elements of the local vegetation and to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions from 10,360 BP to 3,900 BP. The Barton Gulch area was occupied by Paleoindians by 9,400 BP, and occupational strata are noted through approximately 3,900 BP (Davis et al. 1988, 1989; Davis 1993). Chronostratigraphic markers include stratum...

Nine stratigraphic soil samples were collected and examined for both pollen and phytoliths from the Steel's Pass archaeological site (24MA565). This site is located on the southeast-facing flank of the Highland Mountains in southwestern Montana. Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith analyses were undertaken to provide information concerning past vegetation communities to allow interpretation of the paleoenvironment.

The Adrien's Landing project encompasses portions of the Holocene floodplain along the Connecticut River in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. This area has seen intensive historic use and probably was a favored location for Woodland villages between approximately 2000 and 300 years ago. Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith analysis was conducted on sediments from several cores removed from these floodplains. These sediments are thought to span approximately the past 12,500 years. Samples were...

Sample were collected stratigraphically from the west wall of Backhoe Trench 7 at the Mammoth Site (41BX1239) in Bexar County, Texas. These samples were originally designated for diatom and/or phytolith analysis. Upon review of soil conditions at the site, pollen analysis was recommended as the first priority. Due to high sediment pH, diatom and phytolith dissolution was identified as a potential problem. Analysis proceeded on these sediments for the recovery and identification of pollen,...
