POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE MINI-MOON SITE (24DW85)

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

Year: 1986

Summary

Pollen analysis was conducted at 24 DW85, the Mini-Moon Site, in eastern

Montana. Ten pollen samples were collected from the present ground surface

and five separate excavation areas at this site. Deflated hearths, midden

areas, and activity areas were all sampled for their pollen content. Radiocarbon

ages obtained from this site varied from 2160 BP to 1520 BP. The

Besant occupation of this site left considerable quantities of bone and

lithic debris. This pollen study was undertaken to establish the feasibility

of recovering pollen in this area, as well as to assess the subsistence

base reflected in the pollen record for the Besant occupants of the site.
