POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FROM ISLAND-IN-THE-SKY, CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK, UTAH

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1988

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral analysis at ten sites in Canyonlands National Park was designed to address several different elements of the paleoenvironmental and subsistence records. Pollen samples from the present ground surface were collected to characterize the modern pollen record with respect to the modern vegetation. Stratigraphic samples were collected from three sites to provide an accurate view of paleoenvironmental conditions in the vicinity of Gray's Pasture at Island-in-the-Sky during Anasazi occupation, and between that occupation and the present.
