POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES AT THE COVE CREEK SITE, 10LH144, NORTH-CENTRAL IDAHO
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2001
Summary
Groundstone and sediment samples from the Cove Creek site, 10LH144, in north-central
Idaho were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and/or possible protein residues. The floated light
fractions from a fired rock feature and a shell midden also examined for macrofloral remains. This
site is a multicomponent site with evidence for possibly three distinct occupations. Radiocarbon
samples from the same area as the samples examined for this project date between 2500 and
3000 years BP. Pollen, phytolith, and protein residue analyses of the groundstone artifacts will
provide information concerning plant and possible animal resources processed using these tools.
Pollen and phytolith analysis of sediment from the site and macrofloral analysis of feature fill can
provide paleoenvironmental and subsistence information.
