POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF HEARTH/ROASTING PIT FILL FROM 48YE252

Summary

Fill from an eroding hearth/roasting pit (Feature 1) on the south shore of Yellowstone Lake

(site 48YE252) in Yellowstone National Park was analyzed for pollen and macrofloral remains. A

calibrated radiocarbon date of 100 BC to AD 140 (8eta-150250) for Feature 1 and an abundance

of Pelican Lake artifacts at the site indicate a Late Archaic Pelican Lake occupation. Pollen and

macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning fuel woods and possible plant

resources processed in the hearth.
