Twenty-three pollen samples, representing five archaeological sites in the Dove Mountain area, were examined. These sites are located in the upper bajada of the Tortolita Mountains that form the northern boundary of the Tucson Basin. Pollen samples were collected as composites from the floor of structures. One sample represents each structure. Examination of these samples was designed to provide information concerning plants that might have been processed in these structures.

The Julian Wash Site (AZ BB:13:17) is located at the I-10/I-19 interchange in Tucson, Arizona. Approximately 87 prehistoric pit structures or possible pit structures, as well as over 100 other pits of various types were noted ranging in age from the Early Agricultural period (3000 B.C. to A.D. 150) to the Tanque Verde phase (A.D. 1150 to 1300). A small historic component also was noted. Pollen analysis focused on examination of floor samples from pit structures in an effort to identify...

The Mark Twain site (48SW13992) exhibits evidence of at least three occupation components. The oldest component includes three hearths, two of which were excavated into the regolith immediately above bedrock. Feature 3 yielded a radiocarbon age of 4410 ± 50 B.P. (2 Sigma 5280-5170 B.P., 5130 - 5100 B.P., and 5080 - 4860 B.P.). Features 3 and 4, both from this occupation, were sampled for pollen (Table 1). The middle occupation is represented by Feature 5, a basin-shaped hearth, that yielded...

Pollen samples representing Prescott-Phase occupation of a semi-subterranean structure and a check dam at YAV 74, as well as the modern surface, were examined to provide information concerning plant use and processing by occupants of this site. Samples collected within the structure represent the floor, the floor beneath a mano, and a pit.

Sediment samples were collected beneath an oyster shell and from open matrix for pollen analysis from Calusa Island (8LL45), Florida. Radiocarbon dates on marine shell and mangrove wood charcoal provide intercepts of 825 and 765 BC. Pollen analysis of these two samples provides record of local vegetation and allows comparison of pollen preservation, measured by total pollen concentration, from these two contexts.

Pollen columns and cultural features were examined from five archaeological sites in Drews Valley, Oregon. Radiocarbon ages from these sites place their occupation between Middle Holocene and recent. The single exception is the presence of Mazama ash at the La Sere Site (35LK2101), which indicates that the lowest sediments predate 6000 BP. Drews Valley is situated at the western edge of Goose Lake Basin, an internally draining sub-basin of the northern Great Basin. Stratigraphic samples were...

Pollen analysis at six sites represents part of the archaeological work on the Ramah Michael's, Land Exchange (the Clo-Chen-Toh Project). This joint venture between the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and the Cibola National Forest has provided pollen samples from several years excavations, ranging from 1983 through 1989. A previous study (Scott 1984) and this one have been combined to discuss the pollen record at these sites. Pollen samples represent the present ground...

Site 5RB1463 is located on a terrace overlooking Little Bull Draw at an elevation of 6200 feet in a pinon/juniper community. Four pollen samples were taken at this site in an effort to define the paleoenvironment and possibly also obtain subsistence data. Radiocarbon dates ranging from 940 + 50 BP to 2000 + 60 BP were returned for two features, indicating both Fremont and Late Archaic occupation of this site.

Two samples were collected from a possible berm or edge of a berm between fishponds located on a previous floodplain at Fort DeRussy. Cultivation of wetland taro is a possibility prior to construction of the fishponds. Pollen analysis was undertaken to search for evidence that taro was grown in this area.

A single burned metate fragment, recovered from Hearth #4 at 48SU1016, was submitted for pollen analysis of a wash of the surface. This site remains undated at this writing, although a radiocarbon sample was submitted from this hearth. Feature #4 is a deep basin, partially lined with large, oxidized sandstone slabs, that yielded 34 gallons of fill. It is part of a large prehistoric site located along a ridge in the western portion of the Green River Basin.

A soil sample from Site 44FX736, a historical plantation in Lorton, Virginia, was submitted for pollen analysis. The soil was collected from a terraced garden constructed c. 1784 and maintained until c. 1820 (Paul Inashima, personal communication, June 24, 2011). Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to identify the garden plantings.

One subsurface feature described as a "charcoaly" layer located beneath layers of burned cobbles was discovered during blading within a small tributary canyon at Big Sky Ranch near Simi Valley, California. The feature does not appear to be associated with known archaeological sites in the area. One sample from the feature was examined for pollen to provide a description of local and regional vegetation that could be interpreted to describe environmental conditions and potential economic...

One sediment sample from a 50 mm diameter core sample taken from the Sibley Site 1, Squaw Bay, Ontario, was collected and submitted for pollen analysis. The core exhibited rhythmic clay with visible dark and light bands. A portion of the core was AMS radiocarbon dated, producing an age of 13,800 ± 60 14C BP (Fred Dean, personal communication, September 6, 2018). The sample was submitted to identify the local vegetation around Lake Superior during the late Pleistocene.

Site 44FX113 is located in Fairfax County, Virginia on the upland portion of the Coastal Plain Province. Within the site is an isolated planting bed. Although the site is historic, there are no records indicating the use of an isolated planting bed as a flower garden, kitchen garden, or a combination of the two. A sediment sample was taken from the planting bed situated in Feature 17-5 in Unit S98W25 approximately 1.25 feet beneath the modern ground surface and within 100 feet of a domestic...

A single pollen sample collected from a pit (Feature 1) at AZ BB:6:50 (ASM), was analyzed for pollen. The site is located at an elevation of approximately 4000 feet on a bajada between Oracle and San Manuel to the northeast of Tucson. The area is heavily dissected. Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to define activities in the pit.

Hammond Draw Cave (5RB4254) is a rock shelter located east of the town of Rangely in northwestern Colorado. A single soil sample, collected from floor deposits within this small rock shelter was submitted for pollen analysis. A charcoal sample from this same area and level returned a radiocarbon date of 1280 ± 60 BP.

Pollen samples were collected in conjunction with the archaeological survey of an historic settlement on the edge of West Loch in the flood plain of the Honouliuli Stream. Pollen samples were collected from trenches through areas that displayed probable fishpond or pond field sediments. These locations have been identified with the assistance of both historic information and examination of the sediments. Pollen analysis was oriented toward the recovery of pollen types that would indicate...
