PRELIMINARY POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS FOR SITES LA138517 AND LA101481
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; R.A. Varney
Year: 2004
Summary
Two sites, located within the upper limits of Cedar Lake Draw in the Loco Hills, include a
scatter of artifacts, burned caliche, and thermal features. The absence of middens argues for
temporary settlements defined by simple fire hearths and a light scatter of artifacts that include
flakes, cores, hammerstones, groundstone, and an occasional brownware sherd. Radiocarbon
dates indicate occupation falls between approximately 2880 and 6280 BP. Combined pollen,
phytolith, and starch analysis were conducted on 13 samples from LA138517 and two samples
from LA101481.
