  • AN ARCHAEOCLIMATIC MODEL AND EXPLORATORY POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 23LE327, AVENUE OF THE SAINTS, MISSOURI (2005)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. R.A. Varney. Sanjay Eksambekar.

    Five combination pollen and phytolith samples were examined from depths between 97 and 149 cmbud at site 23LE327, situated on an alluvial/colluvial fan along the Mississippi River. Samples were collected from a cultural zone at the site that probably represents occupation no older than approximately 4,500 BP. This preliminary analysis was undertaken to assess whether or not pollen and phytoliths were preserved in sufficient quantity and quality to recommend full stratigraphic analysis for the...

  • AVENUE OF THE SAINTS, MISSOURI: SUMMARY OF CLIMATE MODELS AND PALEOENVIRONMENT USING STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH RECORDS (2010)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Chad Yost. R.A. Varney. Akos Peto.

    Sediment samples, collected from stratigraphic columns from three sites (23Ck57, 23Ck302, and 23Le174), were examined for pollen and phytoliths to provide information concerning the paleoenvironment along the Avenue of the Saints corridor in northeastern Missouri. The time periods represented by these stratigraphic samples include the Late Pleistocene at the base of 23Ck57, the Middle Holocene (6300-5500 BP) at 23Le174, and approximately 3510-2550 BP at 23Ck302. The samples 23Ck57 and 23Le174...

  • POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT SITES 23LE174 AND 23CK302, AVENUE OF THE SAINTS, MISSOURI (2007)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Chad Yost. R.A. Varney.

    Stratigraphic samples were examined from sites 23Ck302 and 23Le174 on the Avenue of the Saints project in northeastern Missouri. In addition, cultural samples from both sites were examined for pollen.

  • POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SITE 23CK57, MISSOURI (2006)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings.

    Pollen and phytolith analysis of stratigraphic samples from 23CK57 form the basis for understanding the Early and Late Paleoindian eras, as well as the Late Archaic through Woodland time periods. The hiatus visible in the record appears to have removed sediments that date between approximately 8000 and 3000 RCYBP, based on original assessments of the stratigraphy at the site. Radiocarbon ages between 1380 and 1210 RCYBP are reported in the upper sediment package.
