POLLEN, STARCH, AND CHARCOAL ANALYSES AT SITES 48LN1301, 48LN3997, AND 48LN4114 FOR THE RUBY PIPELINE PROJECT, WYOMING (2012)
Archaeology along the Ruby Pipeline in Lincoln County, Wyoming, has recently examined sites 48LN1301, 48LN3997, and 48LN4114. Samples from these three sites were submitted for pollen and starch analysis or charcoal identification. The pollen and starch samples represent ground stone and paired soil control samples that provide valuable information when interpreting an elusive record of processing native or wild plants. Samples from each of these sites will be discussed separately, below.
