MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES IN THE MID-AMERICA PIPELINE COMPANY'S ROCKY MOUNTAIN EXPANSION LOOP PROJECT, EASTERN UTAH AND WESTERN COLORADO

Summary

Samples from 21 sites excavated as part of the Mid-America Pipeline Company's Rocky

Mountain Expansion Loop pipeline project in eastern Utah and western Colorado were examined

for macrofloral remains. These sites represent a wide range of site types and occupations,

including the Archaic Era, Formative Era, Anasazi Pueblo II, Protohistoric, Ute, and Historic

periods. Macrofloral analysis will be used to determine plant resources utilized by the various

occupants of these sites, which will aid in providing information about prehistoric use and

adaptations in the project area. Macrofloral analysis can be used to help address problem

domains of subsistence, seasonality, paleoenvironment, and site function.
