POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT THE BADGER HOLE RANCH SITE (AZ AA:12:40(ASM)) , ARIZONA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1993

Summary

Samples from feature fill at Site AZ AA:12:40 (ASM) in southern Arizona were

examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. The site was originally recorded

as a possible pithouse village containing Rillito red-on-brown ceramics,

suggesting Colonial period Hohokam. Later excavations revealed middle to late

Sedentary (Rincon phase) cremations and early Classic (Tanque Verde phase)

pottery from the pithouses. Recent excavations in the southeast corner of Site

AZ AA:12:40(ASM) uncovered four small, unprepared pithouses, a roasting pit, and

extramural pit features, suggesting that this portion of the site functioned as

a possible summer camp. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide

subsistence information.
