POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT 48NA1079, WYOMING

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1992

Summary

The Two Tbads Site (48NA1079) exhibited evidence of multiple occtpatians.

Radiocarbon ages indicate that these occtpatians cluster around 5170-5330 BP for

the earlier occupation and 4150 BP for the later occupation. Both pollen and

phytoliths were examined from the stratigraphic profile to interpret

paleoenvironmental changes. In addition, pollen sanples were examined from the

fill of various pits to provide subsistence information. Starch granules were

recovered regularly fran the pollen record and less often from the phytolith

samples examined from this site. Frequencies of starch granules also provide

information cxsncerning subsistence.
