POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT THE WALDBURG STREET SITE (9CH1039), SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2004

Summary

Samples from features at the Waldburg Street site, 9CH1039, in the northeastern part of

Savannah, Georgia, were examined for pollen, phytolith, or macrofloral remains. This site is a

medium-sized historic site that dates to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Sampled features

include an I-shaped brick chimney base, a midden area, a trash pit, two possible trash pits, a pit

of unknown function, and the area beneath a brick pier. Pollen, phytolith, and macrofloral analyses

will be used to provide information concerning possible food resources utilized by the historic

occupants of the site, as well as an environmental signature for some of the plants growing in this

area at the time of occupation.
