POLLEN, CERAMIC RESIDUE, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN, AND SHELL ANALYSIS FOR SITES IN THE ASHLEY NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Cynthia Adkins; R.A. Varney

Year: 2003

Summary

Pollen, phytolith, starch, macrofloral, and protein residue analyses were conducted on numerous samples from a variety of archaeological sites in Ashley National Forest, Utah. Sites range In elevation from approxlmately 6100 feet to 9000 feet. In addition, a single shell was submitted for identification. Botanical analyses focused on recovery of information that might indicate economic activity. In addition, the pollen record was expected to provide information concerning local vegetation. A biface and a utilized flake were washed for possible protein residues to determine' animals that might have been processed using these tools.
