MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 5MF4929, NORTHWEST COLORADO

Summary

Three samples from the stratified fill from a large Middle Archaic pit at site 5MF4929 in

northwest Colorado were examined for macrofloral remains. A single sample from the

homogeneous fill of a small, shallow oxidized basin also was floated to recover macrofloral

remains; however, the feature yielded a modern date of 118.71 ± 0.72 pmc (Beta-182157) and

likely represents burned modern trash. These features were discovered during road construction

activities for the Cobb State #1 access and well pad location. Macrofloral analysis of the stratified

pit fill will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the prehistoric site

occupants.
