POLLEN AND CHARCOAL ANALYSIS AT 48SU1002, WYOMING

Summary

Site 48SU1002 is located on a colluvial footslope at the base of

Pleistocene terraces immediately above the Green River. A stratigraphic pollen

column was collected to examine the paleoenvironment from prior to occupation,

from near 4000 BP to the present. In addition, pollen and charcoal samples were

collected from Features 5 and 5A, both large roasting pits. The roasting pits

were examined for evidence of foods processed and wood used for fuel.
