POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT SITES 26CK3799, 26CK4908, AND26CK4415, NEVADA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1999

Summary

Sediment samples from prehistoric sites 26CK3799, 26CK4908, and 26CK4415 were

examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. A rock with residue from a roasting pit at

26CK4908 also was washed for phytoliths. Site 26CK3799 represents a temporary resource

procurement and processing area, while 26CK4908 is a rockshelter and roasting pit complex.

Site 26CK4415 consists of a small rockshelter that contained a large packrat nest. Pollen,

phytolith, and macrofloral analyses at these sites will be used to provide information concerning

subsistence activities by the site occupants.
