EXPLORATORY POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES BENEATH THE TOLO LAKE MAMMOTH LEG BONES IN NORTHERN IDAHO

Summary

Two pollen samples were collected beneath the left femur and fibula of

mammoth 1 excavated from the Tolo Lake bed in north-central Idaho. Pollen

samples were collected beneath these bones in an effort to obtain lake bed matrix

that had been protected from contamination by more recent pollen. Pollen

analysis of this material was undertaken to identify pollen present representing

probable late Pleistocene vegetation and to assess the potential of these samples

from this matrix for future analysis.
