POLLEN ANALYSIS FROM SITE 32WE89, WELLS COUNTY NORTH DAKOTA

Summary

Stratigraphic pollen analysis of sediments from three localities at 32WE89, a stone circle

site in central North Dakota, focuses on reconstruction of vegetation during the past

approximately 1000 years. Sediments in this area appear to represent valley wall slump dating

to approximately AD 1000. Radiocarbon ages from the site place human occupation between

approximately AD 1205-1290 and AD 1750-1800. A single pollen sample was collected from a

rock pedestal in the stone circle to examine the record of local vegetation at the time the stone

circle was constructed.
