MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT LA9093: A RED MESA SITE NEAR GALLUP, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Linda J. Scott; PaleoResearch Institute
Year: 1984
Summary
LA 9093 is a classic Red Mesa site dating to AD 975. The site is
located in the bajada along the Puerco River northeast of Gallup, New
Mexico, and consists of several pithouses, a roomblock, and numerous pits
and firepits. Macrofloral samples were taken from several firepits,
processing pits, storage pits, and other locations within the site for the
purpose of identifying a portion of the subsistence base. Bio-cultural
remains, such as seeds, charcoal, and other plant parts, are separated from
the archaeological soils by means of water flotation, identified, and used
to reconstruct portions of the native diet.
