POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR SITES 42WS4228 AND 42WS4230, UTAH

Summary

Three combined pollen and macrofloral samples were submitted for analysis from sites

42WS4228 and 42WS4230 in Cave Valley, southwest Utah. Site 42WS4228 consists of a

sparse lithic and ground stone scatter with ash stains and fire-cracked rock. No ceramics or

diagnostic artifacts were recovered. One sample was collected from the lower fill and floor of

an unlined hearth. Site 42WS4230 represents a Virgin Anasazi occupation (Pueblo I-Pueblo II),

and it contains a lithic and ceramic scatter with buried features. Pollen and macrofloral samples

were recovered from the lower fill and unprepared floors of a burned probable pithouse and an

adjacent slab-lined feature. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide subsistence

information concerning plant resources available to and processed by the occupants of these

sites.
