POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE COAL STREET EXTENSION PROJECT, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2001

Summary

Two sediment samples were collected from depths of 9 feet and 10-11 feet below the

surface, apparently within prehistoric fill of a backhoe trench for the Coal Street Extension. Pollen

and macrofloral analysis were conducted on these samples to identify plants represented in these

records and to examine the record of vegetation. In addition, analysis of these samples was

considered exploratory because pollen analysis had not been attempted on sediments from this

area previously.
