POLLEN ANALYSIS OF STRATIGRAPHIC SEDIMENTS FROM COOKE'S ISLAND, LAKE CHAMPLAIN, NEW YORK

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2001

Summary

Five pollen samples were selected from stratigraphic sediments in Boring 4, Transect 7 for

analysis. A radiocarbon age of 1280 ± 60 BP (Beta-150200) was returned on organic silt at a depth

of 290 cm below the surface in Boring 4. Pollen analysis was conducted to establish the viability

of pollen analysis on these types of sediments and to obtain a description of local and regional

vegetation for periods represented by the five samples selected for analysis.
