AN EXAMINATION OF THE SUBSISTENCE RECORD FOR THE FLEX (SHOW LOW II) PROJECT: THE POLLEN RECORD

Summary

Pollen analysis conducted in conjunction with archaeological

investigations continued in the vicinity of Show Low, Arizona with the FLEX (Show Low II) Project. Four additional archaeological sites were examined

for pollen to identify subsistence at these sites and augment the data base

for the FLEX Project. A total of 35 pollen samples were examined for this

phase of the project, of which 31 samples or 89% yielded sufficient pollen

for analysis. Interpretation of these samples addresses the same research

questions as the earlier work, which include identifying subsistence

strategies employed at these sites, addressing differences in the

subsistence or plant-use patterns between site types, description of the

environment at the time of occupation to that of the present, and

examination of individual feature functions.
