POLLEN ANALYSIS AT A TEMPORARY CAMPSITE IN THE LA PLATA VALLEY, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Linda J. Scott; PaleoResearch Institute
Year: 1986
Summary
A lithic scatter (DCA-85-184) in the La Plata Valley, San Juan County,
New Mexico, represents a temporary camp. This archaeological site was
sampled for pollen in four areas during archaeological testing. Based on
projectile point morphology, the occupation of the site appears to fall
within the Basketmaker II or III time periods. A single large roasting
pit/hearth was recovered and sampled for pollen. In addition, pollen samples
were taken from artifact clusters at the site. Pollen sampling was
structured to recover subsistence data from this site, as well as to identify
the environment at the time of occupation.
