Author(s): R.A. Varney; Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2003
Summary
Pollen/starch, phytolith, and macrofloral samples were removed from the fill of three fire
features at site LA138576 in southeast New Mexico, while pollen/starch and phytolith samples
were collected from sediment scrapes at the edge of two of the hearths and from the surface as
a control sample. This site is a lithic debitage and tool scatter with three fire features located
between Artesia and Loco Hills, New Mexico, and is situated within the Chihuahuan desert scrub
plant community. Pollen/starch, phytolith, and macrofloral remains were examined in an effort to
define plants that were processed at this site.
