POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS AT SITE 32ME254, CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Thomas E. Moutoux

Year: 1997

Summary

Pollen, macrofloral, and protein residue analyses were conducted on samples from

32ME254. This large stone ring site consisted of 87 features in central North Dakota. These

features are situated around a large slough and north-south trending drainage. A core was

removed from a slough near 32ME254 and sampled at close intervals to provide a pollen record

to interpret the paleoenvironment. A radiocarbon age of 4670 + 50 BP (calibrated to 3620-3345

BC) is reported for the base of the core. In addition, two features were sampled for pollen and

one for macrofloral remains. A total of 28 artifacts were examined for protein residue analysis.
