POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES AZ M:7:41(ASM), AZ M:7:42 (ASM) , AZ M:8:27(ASM)/ AND AZ M:8:37(ASM) IN THE LOWER MAMMOTH DATA RECOVERY PROJECT, NORTHWESTERN ARIZONA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1995

Summary

Soil samples from four sites in the Lower Mammoth Data Recovery (Bagdad)

project area, northwest Arizona, were examined for pollen and macrofloral

remains. Site AZ M:7:41 (ASM) represents a large rock shelter that was occupied

during the Late Archaic period, while Sites AZ M: 7:42(ASM) and AZ M:8:37(ASM)

represent Late Prehistoric rock shelter sites. Site AZ M:8:27(ASM) contained

numerous roasting pits that formed a debris or mound pile, and radiocarbon dates

suggest a Protohistoric to Historic occupation. Pollen and macrofloral analyses

are used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the

various occupants of these sites.
