PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SHELL MIDDEN PROFILE AND SHELTERED MATRICES AT THE SALEM NECK SEWAGE PLANT PREHISTORIC SITE (19-ES-471), SALEM MASSACHUSETTS
Author(s): Gerald K. Kelso
Year: 1994
Summary
The objectives of this preliminary analysis of Salem Neck shell midden
profile samples and samples from under shells was to ascertain if :pollen was
preserved in the midden and whether the spectra, if recovered, had the :potential
to yield environmental, land-use and/or paleoethnobotanical data. An exploratory
evaluation of the matrices preceding full analysis was desirable because certain
natural processes tend to destroy and replace the pollen spectra of
archaeological sites that are exposed at the surface to the natural elements.
