POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT THE HUTTON-PINKHAM SITE, EASTERN COLORADO: A FEASIBILITY STUDY

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1989

Summary

Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith samples were collected at the Hutton-Pinkham site at ten centimeter intervals during the summer of 1989. These stratigraphic samples were collected from the same column examined for geomorphologic data. The column was cut into a west-facing stream meander cut bank of Bonny Creek. This analysis of pollen and phytolith samples from the column is conducted as a feasibility study to determine the preservation and interpretability of the records. Both pollen and phytoliths will be used to reconstruct vegetation in the vicinity of Bonny Creek, from which interpretation of paleoenvironmental conditions can be made.
