POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 42UN2373, UTAH

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2003

Summary

The fill from a basin-shaped charcoal-stained sediment anomaly exposed in a sand dune

at site 42UN2372 in northeast Utah was examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. A pollen

control also was collected from the modern dune surface. Charcoal from this feature yielded a

radiocarbon age of 3700-3490 BP, suggesting an Archaic occupation. Pollen and macrofloral

samples were examined in an effort to help identify the function of this anomaly, which is believed

to represent the remains of a fire pit.
