ARCHAEOBOTANIC STUDIES OF AN ARCHAIC HEARTH AT THE LINDENMEIER SITE, COLORADO

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1991

Summary

An Archaic hearth was examined archaeologically at the Lindenmeier Site.

Soil sanples were collected from this hearth to be studied for pollen,

phytoliths, and macrofloral remains. Control sanples from the modern surface

were also examined for pollen and phytoliths. The object of these archaeobotanic

studies was to characterize local vegetation at the time of the Archaic

occupation and compare that to the present vegetation, as well as to identify any

plants that were processed in this hearth.
