POLLEN ANALYSIS OF 48UT375, A SAND DUNE SITE IN SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING

Summary

Ten pollen samples were selected for analysis from 48UT375, a large

multi-component campsite encountered along the Mapco Pipeline in the

northeastern portion of Uintah County in southwestern Wyoming. The site

contains evidence of at least four occupations which span the period from

5690 +/- 100 years BP to historic times. This site is located in a semistabilized

sand dune at an elevation of 6480 feet, near an intermittent

drainage in the Green River Basln. The major drainage of this area is the

Blacks Fork River, approximately 7 km east of the site. An extensive

alkali flat was noted immediately south and east of the site area, and extends

east to the Blacks Fork River (Debra Angulski, personal communication, 1981).
