POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS AT RONSAVALLE'S GULCH, SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Author(s): R.A. Varney; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2003

Summary

The Ronsavalle's Gulch site, located on a gypsum plain between the Delaware

Mountains to the west and the Rustler Hills to the east, includes both Archaic and Late

Prehistoric artifacts. Radiocarbon ages from the hearths are reported as 3250 BP for the

Archaic occupation and cluster at 870 and 940 BP for the Late Prehistoric occupation. Four

pairs of samples were recovered from sediment in an arroyo cut near the archaeological

features and examined for pollen and phytoliths to provide evidence of local and regional

vegetation through time.
