MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE CA-SBA-990, NORTH VANDENBURG AIR FORCE BASE, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Peter J. Gleichman

Year: 2005

Summary

Six soil samples from undifferentiated midden deposits at site CA-SBA-990 on North

Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, were floated to recover macrofloral remains. This site

is a lithic and shell deposit containing chert debitage, flaked stone tools, marine shell, fish and

terrestrial animal bone, shell beads, fire-altered rock, and ground stone tools. Radiocarbon

dates from shell at the site suggest occupation from the Late Prehistoric into the Protohistoric,

approximately A.D. 1230-1690. Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide information

concerning plant resources utilized by the site occupants.
