POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 48LN2068, WYOMING

Summary

Samples from Site 48I2J2068 in the Wyoming Basin were examined for pollen

and macrofloral remains. This site is an early Uinta Phase Late Prehistoric

site, made up of one or more short-term camps. There also appears to be same

Fremont influence. One radiocarbon date of 1880 + 130 BP has been obtained.

Five flotation samples were collected from features, and three pieces of

groundstone were washed for pollen. In addition, four surface samples were

collected to provide a thorough understanding of the relationship between the

modern vegetation and the pollen record in different ecotones and to provide a

control for the groundstone washes. Pollen and macrofloral analysis will help

to identify food processing activities at this site.
