POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE CAVE CREEK SANITARY LANDFILL SITES (AZ U: 1 : 31 (ASM), AZ U: 1 : 34 (ASM), AZ U: 1: 42 (ASM), AND AZ U:1:102 (ASM)), SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA

Summary
Samples from Sites AZ U: 1 : 31 (ASM), AZ U: 1 : 34 (ASM), AZ U: 1 : 42 (ASM), and AZ U: 1: 102 (ASM) in northern Maricopa County of south-central Arizona were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. These sites are located immediately next to the Cave Creek Sanitary Landfill and are believed to be Hohokam sites of either the late Santa Cruz (A.D. 750-950), Sacaton (A.D. I 950-1150), or Soho (A.D. 1150-1300) phase. Sites AZ U:1 :31 (ASM), AZ U:1:34 (ASM), and AZ U:1:42 (ASM) contain remnants of surface masonry-footed features that are believed to have been used as field houses, while AZ U:1:102(ASM) consists of a prehistoric trail and a small, immature field system. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken to provide possible data that would be sufficient for addressing the following research questions that relate to prehistoric technology, subsistence, chronology, demography, or trade.
