POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF FEATURES AT 24ME333 AND 24ME334, SOUTHWESTERN MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1999

Summary

Sites 24ME333 and 24ME334 represent multiple occupations found in wetlands associated

with springs. These features represent repeated occupations approximately 800, 2100, and 2600

years ago. Three features and two control samples were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and

starch granules that might indicate what plants, if any, were processed. Bulrush is an abundant

resource along the South Fork of the Smith River in eastern southwestern Montana and is

suspected to have been an important resource.
