POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 26CK415, NEVADA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 1999
Summary
Samples from a column through Unit F-6 in Flaherty Rockshelter, Site 26CK415, in
southern Nevada were analyzed for pollen and macrofloral remains. This unit was located
directly in the center of the rockshelter near several rock-lined cists. Several botanic samples
from the rockshelter also were examined. This large rockshelter in the northern Las Vegas
Valley was excavated between 1967 and 1969. Samples are being analyzed as part of the Apex
Project. Uncalibrated conventional radiocarbon dates from material in this rockshelter yielded
dates ranging from 5190 + 70 to 130 + 40 BP. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to
provide information concerning plant resources available to and possibly utilized by the various
rockshelter occupants.
