POLLEN ANALYSIS FROM THE TRAPPER'S POINT SITE (48SU1006), WYOMING

Summary

The Trapper's Point site (48SU1006) exhibits evidence of three cultural

levels. The lowest level is undated and predates the Early Archaic bone level,

which represents an antelqpe-kill component dated between 6000 and 5700 BP. The

upper level probably represents a Late Archaic occupation and included scattered

fire-cracked rock and small bifacial reduction flakes. Pollen was examined from

two stratigraphic columns at this site to examine evidence of prehistoric

vegetation and paleoenvironmental conditions. In addition, fill from several

features was examined for pollen evidence of food processing activities. Sanples

were also examined from the Early Archaic bone level for evidence of vegetation

at the time of that occupation.
