POLLEN ANALYSIS AT 42EM959 AND 42EM960

Author(s): Linda J. Scott

Year: 1980

Summary

Palynological investigations of eighteen soil samples were undertaken in conjunction with archaeological excavations at two sites in Emery County, Utah. These two sites (42EM959 and 42EM960) are small rockshelters located approximately 75 mile apart at an elevation of 6,750 ·feet in a pinyon/juniper woodland ecozone in central Utah. Both sites appear to be Fremont sites dating between ca. AD 400 and AD 1200. A single early Archaic projectile point recovered from the lower strata of 42EM959 indicates the possibility that these strata date between 8500-6000BC (Dennis Weder, personal communication, February 1980).
