POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF TWO ROASTING PITS AT SITE 48WA1354, WYOMING

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1996

Summary

Samples from the fill of two roasting pits at Site 48WA1354 in the Bighorn Basin of north central

Wyoming were analyzed for pollen and macrofloral remains. A flat rock also was

recovered from one of the roasting pits and washed for pollen. Uncalibrated radiocarbon dates

from the features range from 1280 to 1420 BP and suggest use during the Late Prehistoric

period. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning possible

plant resources utilized and/or processed in these roasting pits.
