STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS FROM ADRIAEN'S LANDING, CONNECTICUT

Summary

The Adrien's Landing project encompasses portions of the Holocene flood plain along the

Connecticut River in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. This area has seen intensive historic use

and probably was a favored location for Woodland villages between approximately 2000 and 300

years ago. Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith analysis was conducted on sediments from several

cores removed from these flood plains. These sediments are thought to span approximately the

past 12,500 years. Samples were collected from individual strata within the borings, but not at

close intervals.
