STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS FROM RECON JOHN SHELTER, SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO

Summary

Eight stratigraphic pollen samples were collected from Recon John

Shelter (5PE648), located along the bank of Turkey Creek a tributary to the

Arkansas river. A late Archaic/Woodland occupation postulated at this cave,

where the cultural deposits are deep. Ceramics were recovered from the upper

levels, while projectile points were recovered throughout the deposits.

Pollen analysis was conducted on the samples in an effort to address both

paleoenvironmental conditions and evidence of subsistence.
