POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SOD FROM FT. LARNED NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, CENTRAL KANSAS

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1995

Summary

Six paired pollen and phytolith samples and two macrofloral samples were

examined from sod preserved beneath Historic Structures 7 and 8 at Ft. Larned

National Historic Site, Kansas. Microscopic evaluation of botanic remains

(pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral remains) from this sod was undertaken to

identify plants that grew as part of the local prairie vegetation at the time

these structures were built. The pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral studies were

expected to contribute different but complementary data towards this

interpretation.
