POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR SITE 5LA6862, PINON CANYON, COLORADO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Thomas E. Moutoux
Year: 1997
Summary
Site 5LA6862, a south-facing rockshelter in the Dakota sandstone on the north side of
Welsh Canyon, contained a small, natural, pocket-like cache in its back wall. The opening of this
cache was covered with a thin and worn fragment of a metate that stood upright, blocking the
entrance. Apparently rodents had gained access to the cache area, and it had been disturbed
extensively by pack rats. Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to learn what, if any, plants
were stored in this cache.
