POLLEN ANALYSIS AT 32MZ278, McKENZIE COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA

Summary

Site 32MZ278, located on an open, rolling grassland in McKenzie County,

was sampled for pollen. The site occupies the western and southern

exposures of a large hill approximately 3.5 miles south of the last recorded

channel of the Missouri River. Although no diagnostic artifacts were

recovered from the test excavations, a Besant point and an Early Plains

Archaic side-notched projectile point were recorded during the site survey.

Three pollen samples were taken at 10 cm intervals through cultural deposits

at the site to identify paleoenvironmental conditions at the time the site

was occupied.
