PALEOENVIRONMENTAL AND SUBSISTENCE INTERPRETATIONS FROM SITES SMF1791 AND SMF606, MOFFAT COUNTY, COLORADO

Author(s): Linda J. Scott; PaleoResearch Institute

Year: 1984

Summary

Pollen samples were taken from site SMF1791 in an effort to both define

the local paleoenvironmental conditions, and provide subsistence data.

Stratigraphic samples were taken from a playa and rockshelter (5MF606) in

Irish Canyon, approximately 30 miles to the northwest as a control for

interpreting the paleoenvironment. Better conditions for the preservation

of pollen were expected in both the playa sediments and the rockshelter

compared to the sediments at 5MFl79l, which was an open site.
