POLLEN AND PHYTOLTIH ANALYSIS OF STRATIGRAPHIC SAMPLES FROM PORT POLK, LOUISIANA (16VN794)
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 1991
Summary
Fort Polk is located iii west-central Louisiana near the town of Leesville.
The project area is located at the southern edge of the Hill Province
(Gilbert/Q^nmonwealth, 1984:7). A "series ofuplifted bedrock surfaces variously
covered by Pleistocene terrace deposits" (Gilbert/Q^rarosnwealth 1984:8)
characterized this area. Complex drainages have incised the area during the late
Quaternary. Site 16VN794 is located near Bird's Creek. Stratigraphic columns
were sampled in both blocks A and B for pollen and phytoliths to examine past
vegetation. Radiocarbon ages in Block A range from 3920 + 90 BP to 5770 + 140
BP. Radiocarbon ages in Block B, however, are much younger and range from 1030
+ 50 BP to 1520 + 70 BP.
