PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN THE OLD DALLAS ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT AREA, COLORADO

Summary

Forty-six pollen samples were selected for analysis from the Old Dallas

Archaeological Project in connection with prehistoric archaeological investigations.

The sites represented include 50R 167, 50R 179, 50R 182, 50R 198, 50R243, and

50R 317, which are located on terraces and benches above the Uncompahgre River

north of Ridgeway in Ouray County, Colorado. Stratigraphic profiles were sampled

for pollen at four sites to provide paleoenvironmental data. Several features were

also sampled for their pollen content, in an effort to define subsistence -related

activities at the site through a comparison of the pollen record from the features

and stratigraphic columns.
