SUBSISTENCE DATA FROM ANASAZI SITES ON THE NORTH LEASE OF THE MCKINLEY MINE, NEW MEXICO: THE POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL RECORDS

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken on samples from

several prehistoric sites on the North lease area of the McKinley Mine for

the purpose of assessing the subsistence base of the inhabitants of these

sites. In the case of site NL86 pollen and macrofloral samples were taken

from stratigraphic columns and from the trash midden (Feature 6). Pollen

only was recovered from the post-occupational fill of the kiva (Feature 8).

Both pollen and macrofloral remains were recovered from site NL141. Eight

additional sites were sampled for macrofloral remains, primarily in hearths

and pits.
