POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR SITE 48CR1790, BRIDGERMINE PROJECT
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Curtis Nepstad-Thornberry
Year: 2000
Summary
Pollen and macrofloral samples were collected and examined from Housepit 2 and two
isolated features at 48CR 1790, an open camp site containing three housepits and several
isolated features. This site represents an Opal phase occupation during the Early Archaic
period. Radiocarbon ages of 5300 ± 60 BP and 6320 ± 60 BP were obtained for two housepits,
each housepit representing a separate occupation. To date, few housepits have been excavated
in the Washakie Basin. Pollen and macrofloral samples from five features and one tabular
sandstone within one housepit and two isolated features are analyzed and present the
opportunity to understand more precisely prehistoric subsistence in the Washakie Basin during
the Early Archaic period.
