POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS FOR SITES 34HP70, 34HP76, 34HP131, AND 34HP138, OKLAHOMA

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

Year: 2003

Summary

Pollen analysis was undertaken on samples from four archaeological sites (34HP70,

34HP76, 34HP131, and 34HP138) in the panhandle of northwest Oklahoma. A piece of

groundstone and a soil control sample were examined at 34HP70 to determine what, if any,

plants were ground using this tool. At site 34HP76 the floor of a pit was examined to identify

possible use of the pit. A hearth at 34HP131 was examined to identify economic activity

associated with this feature. Finally, at 34HP138 several samples were examined from a trash

pit to identify plants processed and discarded. Radiocarbon ages place occupation of these

sites between approximately 500 and 1610 BP.
