MACROFLORAL AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT SITES IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings; Laura Ruggiero
Year: 1999
Summary
Samples from features at sites 48YE246, 48YE380, 48YE449, and 48YE762 in
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, were floated to recover charred macrofloral remains.
Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources that may have
been processed and woods burned as fuel. Three features also were examined for phytoliths
to determine if phytolith analysis would be informative in understanding the use of deep,
structurally complex features classified as "roasting pits" that are commonly found in Yellowstone
National Park.
