POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT THE RAY LONG SITE (39FA65), SOUTH DAKOTA: A FEASIBILITY STUDY

Author(s): Linda J Scott; PaleoResearch Institute; Rhoda O Lewis

Year: 1985

Summary

Pollen and phytolith samples were removed from three components at the

Ray Long Site (39FA63) in southwestern South Dakota. This site is located

within an ephemeral stream sediment sequence deposited by a tributary to the

Cheyenne River in Fall River County. Analysis of the pollen and phytolith

remains was directed towards determining whether continued sampling would

provide data concerning the paleoenvironment. Buried Paleolndian components

represent an Angostura occupation (11,000 BP) and a later McKean occupation

(8950 BP).
