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

Year: 1999

Summary

Fourteen pollen samples were examined from a stratigraphic column, two features, a

prehistoric surface, and a mano at the Hanging Hearth site (5RB 454) in northwestern Colorado.

Hanging Hearth, a stratified site located in Rio Blanco County, exhibits evidence of at least five

occupations. The stratigraphic pollen record was examined to address changes in local and

regional vegetation through time. Pollen analysis of features and other samples with cultural

associations was undertaken to provide information concerning human use of plant resources at

the site.
