POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT THE GENEVA ROAD BURIAL SITE (42UT1222), PROVO, UTAH

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2002

Summary

Samples recovered from the Geneva Road Burial site (42UT1222) in Provo, Utah, were

examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site consists of a shallow, slightly bell-shaped

pit that contained a single set of juvenile human remains. Radiocarbon analysis of bone from the

burial yielded a conventional radiocarbon age of 1180 ± 40 BP, with a two sigma calibrated age

range of A.D. 770 to 970. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to aid in determining the

cultural affiliation and seasonality of the burial.
