POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 5MT11884, COLORADO

Summary

Samples from features at Site 5MT11884 in southwest Colorado were analyzed for pollen

and macrofloral remains. This site represents at least a late Pueblo II habitation site that

appears to have a experienced long-term occupation with salvaging and remodeling of features.

Pollen and/or macrofloral samples were recovered from a mealing bin in a pitstructure, a kiva,

a trash pit in a surface structure, and an extramural pit. The kiva is noted to have exhibited

several characteristics typically associated with Pueblo II kivas in the area. Pollen and

macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning plant resources that were

utilized by the occupants of this site.
