FEASIBILITY STUDY OF POLLEN, DIATOM, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT HELLER LAKE, UTAH, WITH SUPPORTING ARCHAEOCLIMATE MODELS

Author(s): R.A. Varney; Linda Scott Cummings; Barbara Winsborough; Kathryn Puseman

Summary

The Heller Lake site is located within the Ashley National Forest near the headwaters of Dry

Gulch Creek. The lake is located on the south slopes of the Uinta Range, between the Uintah and

Ouray Indian reservation and the High Uintas wilderness, at an elevation of 9400'. The sampling

site is located in an alpine moraine plant community within the western montane biome. A mosiac

of other plant communities are located in the general site area with differences based upon

substrate and slope. Thirty four stratigraphic samples were recovered from a meadow downstream

from Heller Lake proper. As a preliminary feasibility study, five of the samples were analyzed for

pollen, diatoms, and macrofloral remains.
