Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-049: Pollen Analysis - 1979
Author(s): Linda J. Scott
Year: 1982
Summary
Pollen analysis of 10 prehistoric sites excavated during the 1979 field season of.the Dolores Archaeological Program (D.A.P.) was centered on three localities. Seven of the 10 sites were located in Sagehen Flats Locality, including one site which was represented by only a modern pollen sample. These sites date to the Sagehen, McPhee , and Sundial phases. Two sites in Grass Mesa Locality were selected for pollen analysis; they date to the Sagehen and McPhee phases. McPhee Pueblo (Site 5MT4475), located in Periman locality, was the remaining site selected for analysis; it dates to the McPhee Phase. Information concerning both the environment and potential economic base at these sites was sought. The environment of Sagehen Flats Locality appears to have remained relatively stable and was dominated primarily by Artemisia during the Sagehen, McPhee, and Sundial phases. The economic pollen record from these sites suggests that the cultigen Zea, and Cleome, which has been recorded as a utilized native plant, were consistent elements of the Anasazi potential resource base of this region.
Originally the information in this record was migrated into tDAR from the National Archaeological Database Reports Module (NADB-R) and updated. In 2015, as part of its effort to improve tDAR content, the Center for Digital Antiquity uploaded a copy of the document and further improved the record metadata.
