POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES 48SWI023 AND 48SW1612

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral analyses were conducted at 48SWI023 and 48SW1612

to identify paleoenvironmental conditions at the time of occupation, as well

as to determine whether evidence exists for subsistence activities involving

plants. Stratigraphic columns were collected from the present ground

surface to the lowest occupation or one stratum below at each site to

provide data to interpret paleoenvironmental conditions. Cultural materials

at 48SW1023 ranged in age from 6320 to 2750 BP. Cultural material from

48SW1612 represents occupations from 750-1550 BP and 1950 BP. The

stratigraphic pollen record at 48SW1612 represents Medithermal to Recent

deposits, while that at 48SW1023 represents Altithermal/Neoglacial to Recent

deposits.
