Summary

Samples from three archaeological sites were examined for pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains. A single sample from a probable historic trench privy at Fort Thornburgh in northeast Utah was examined for pollen, starch, and parasites to detect evidence of foods consumed, as well as the possibility that parasite eggs were present. Two samples from 42Da1005, a dual component site with occupations dating from the Archaic and Fremont periods, were examined for pollen, starch and macrofloral remains to interpret environment and potential economic uses of the site. One metate wash and one cist fill sample from 42Dc1424, dated by the presence of an Elko Corner-notched projectile point, were examined for pollen, starch, and macrofloral remains to determine environment and possible uses of the site.
