POLLEN, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT DEEP CREEK PARK SITE #1, 24CA1009, CENTRAL MONTANA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings; Thomas E. Moutoux
Year: 1996
Summary
Soil samples from cultural fill in five test units at Site 24CA1009 in Deep Creek Park,
Montana, were floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. Three samples from Unit 4 also
were examined for pollen. This site is situated around a spring and has previously documented
prehistoric cultural use. Charred material from Level 2 of Unit 4 yielded a calibrated radiocarbon
date of 2310-1955 BC (Beta-81033), which is derived from a conventional C14 age of 3740 +
60 BP. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning plant
resources that may have been used by the prehistoric occupants of the site.
