Summary

Pollen, phytolith, macrofloral, charcoal identification, and/or PET (potentially edible tissue)

analyses were conducted on samples from sites 51 NW103, 51NW117, and 51NW117W in the

Whitehurst Freeway Project. These three sites are located at the confluence of the Potomac

River and Rock Creek in urban Washington, D.C., and represent primarily occupations from
