POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE ROASTING PIT FILL AT SITE 42WS2864, SOUTHWEST UTAH

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1995

Summary

Soil from a slab-lined circular feature at Site 42WS2864 in Zion Canyon,

southwest Utah, was sampled for pollen, starches, phytoliths, and charred

macrofloral remains. This feature is believed to be a roasting pit, and a

corrugated sherd suggests use by the Virgin Anasazi during the late Pueblo II

period. Pollen, starch, phytolith, and macrofloral analyses are used to address

subsistence and environment.
