MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF HEARTH SEDIMENTS FROM THE ALCOVA RINGS SITE, 48NA1292, WYOMING

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1995

Summary

Three hearth sediment samples from Site 48NA1292 were examined for

macrofloral remains. These samples were recovered from a basin-shaped fire lens

and from a bowl-shaped pit inside a stone circle. Site 48NA1292 consists of

stone circles, fire-altered rock concentrations, and a sparse surface scatter of

chipped stone tools and lithic flakes. The stone circles are believed to be the

remains of lodge structures. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information

concerning subsistence strategies and possible season of occupation.
