POLLEN ANALYSIS AT SIMKINS FLAT, ARIZONA

Summary

Seven sediment samples collected at wide intervals from a stratigraphic column in Simkins

Flat, an alluviated valley in the Upper Basin, were examined to provide a pollen record of vegetation

and to search for evidence of maize. These samples represent two strata and a thin lens

separating them. The base of the upper stratum is anchored by radiocarbon dates of AD 782-984,

while a radiocarbon age near the base of the upper stratum is reported as AD 1415-1521.
