MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF FEATURE FILL AT SITE 36FR357, PENNSYLVANIA

Summary

Thirteen samples representing the #20 screen size macrofloral remains from

the fill of six features at Site 36FR357 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, were

sent for identification. This site is believed to represent an undisturbed

multi-component prehistoric site, with occupations from the Paleo-Indian Period

through the Middle Woodland Period. The large quantities of fire-cracked rock

and utilized flake tools suggest that the site was a habitation site. The

Washington Township Municipal Authority (WIMA) plans to develop the project area

for use as a water treatment plant. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide

information concerning plants utilized by the occupants of the site.
