POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SELECTED SAMPLES FROM STEEL'S PASS, (24MA565), MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1995

Summary

Six stratigraphic pollen samples were examined from Steel's Pass to provide paleoenvironmental information. These samples represent archaeological excavations during the summer of 1994 in grid Unit 6S/4E. Several paleosols or paleosol-like horizons were recorded along with a tephra lense of Mazama ash. Pollen samples were collected and examined from the paleosol-like horizons and the Mazama ash to examine the pollen signature for prehistoric vegetation.
