POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES MQ 123, MJ 125, AND MJ 235 IN KAIBAB NATIONAL FOREST, NORTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA

Summary

Samples from Sites MJ 123, MJ 125, and MJ 235 were examined for pollen

and/or charred macrofloral remains. These sites are located in the Upper Basin,

which is located in Kaibab National Forest south of Grand Canyon National Park

in northern Arizona. Site MJ 123 is a fire-cracked rock-pile site. Three

Jeddito Plains sherds and four Desert Side-Notched projectile points suggest that

the site represents a Late Prehistoric (post-AD 1150) site. Site MJ 125 is a

Pueblo II Western Anasazi habitation ruin, and MJ 235 consists of an extramural

artifact scatter with activity areas and piles of fire-cracked rock. Pollen and

macrofloral analyses at these sites will be used to provide subsistence

information.
