POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 5ME12,225 AND 5ME12,480, MESA COUNTY, COLORADO

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

Year: 2004

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral analyses were undertaken on samples from two overhangs located

within about 50 meters of each other in the Little Park area of Mesa County, Colorado. Pollen

analysis has the potential of providing information concerning vegetation at the time of occupation

or at the time represented by each sample, if that is different. Macrofloral analysis examines the

contents of hearths and ash lenses and has the potential of identifying both fuel and any plants that

might have been processed in the hearths or in the feature represented by the ash lens.
