POLLEN ANALYSIS AT TWO HIGH ALTITUDE SITES (SLK372 AND SSTl14) NEAR CLIMAX, COLORADO

Summary

Two high altitude sites in Summit and Lake Counties (SSTl14 and SLK372)

were examined for their pollen content in connection with archaeological

mitigation. These sites were sampled stratigraphically in an effort to

define paleoenvironmental changes in this area. Unfortunately, the soil

deposition was relatively shallow at both sites, thus compacting the

relatively long time sequences and yielding few pollen samples. The pollen

samples were removed from defined natural stratigraphic units by the

archaeologist following excavation of the site.
