PHYTOLITH AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE TAYLOR SITE, MCN-1, IN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY, WESTERN OREGON
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman
Year: 1995
Summary
Samples from silt loam sediments and organic deposits at Site MCN-1 were
examined for phytoliths and/or macrofloral remains. A piece of wood from a
buried log also was identified. Site MCN-1 was found on the Coburg North Loop
during construction for the Northwest Pipeline corporation Expansion II Project
in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. This site was deeply buried and may
be late Pleistocene in age, possibly one of the oldest sites in the Willamette
Valley. Phytolith and macrofloral analyses are used to provide
paleoenvironmental information.
