STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE LIGHTNING SPRING SITE, NORTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 1993
Summary
Ten stratigraphic samples were examined from the Lightning Spring Site to
provide information concerning the vegetation communities of this area during the McKean occupation (before 4000 BP) and between that time and the present. Single stratigraphic samples were examined from each of the strata exhibiting evidence of McKean occupation. In addition, single samples were examined from two Middle to Late Archaic occupation strata, and a Late Prehistoric occupation stratum immediately below the present ground surface. Evidence of prehistoric vegetation from the Lightning Springs Site is compared with that of the Mill Iron Site from southeastern Montana.
