POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT TROUGH HOLLOW, SEVIER COUNTY, UTAH

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral analysis were under taken at five sites within

the Trough Hollow area at the eastern edge of Severe County approximately

four miles north of Interstate 70. These sites are located at the southern

end of the area of investigation along Trough Hollow Creek, Saleratus Creek,

and Ivie Creek. The sites vary in age from Fremont to Shoshone/Ute, and

some are undatable. All samples selected for analysis were taken from

hearths or groundstone (Table 1). The emphasis of the test excavation phase

of this project was on the definition of behavioral and temporal attributes

of small, limited activity/hearth sites. Subsistence data obtained through

pollen and macrofloral sampling of hearths and grounds tone should provide

information concerning the utilization of plant resources at these sites.
