MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 5EP211, COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Peter J. Gleichman
Year: 2005
Summary
Three soil samples from two possible hearths and one cobble-filled hearth discovered
during recent excavations at prehistoric site 5EP211 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, were
floated to recover macrofloral remains. In addition, two fragments of charred wood posts were
submitted for identification. Site 5EP211 is a small open camp located along Interstate 25 (I-25) that might be the remnant of a much larger site that has subsequently been destroyed.
Radiocarbon dates obtained from charcoal, including the two burned wood post fragments,
reflect occupation during the Late Archaic, as well as the Developmental period of the Late
Prehistoric. Macrofloral analysis of feature fill will be used to provide subsistence/environmental
data to address research questions relating to prehistoric economy and possibly
paleoenvironment.
