This report is the result of two archaeological salvage research programs. The first program, sponsored by the Arizona Public Service Company, covered an area leased for the construction of the Four Corners Power Plant. The second program was sponsored by Utah Construction & Mining Company in their dedicated coal lease lands. The two areas adjoin one another just south of the San Juan River and east of Chaco Wash, and roughly parallel the Chaco Wash, six miles south of the San Juan River. The...
PHYTOLITH, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR), MACROFLORAL, AND POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES LA 160727, LA 160739, AND LA 160741 FOR THE BLACK RIVER RESEARCH ANALYSIS, NEW MEXICO (2010)
Fill samples from thermal features at sites LA 160727, LA 160739, and LA 160741 in southeast New Mexico were examined for phytoliths and macrofloral remains. A single sample from the thermal feature at LA 160727 also was analyzed for pollen. In addition, fire-cracked rocks from the features were tested for the presence of organic residues, especially lipids, using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Radiocarbon dates suggest that LA 160727 represents a Late Archaic/Early Mogollon...
