Summary

Samples from 2000 and 2001 excavations at the Backhoe Village, site 42SV662, in central

Utah were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and/or macrofloral remains. Individual charcoal samples

were identified prior to submission for radiocarbon analysis. This site is a Fremont habitation site,

with radiocarbon dates suggesting early to late Fremont associations. The Fremont are believed

to have diverted water from local springs for farming. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used
