MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT THE COMB WASH GREAT HOUSE, SITE 42SA24756, SOUTHEAST UTAH
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Jaime Dexter
Year: 2005
Summary
Three flotation samples and twelve botanic samples were examined from the Comb
Wash Great House, site 42Sa24756, in southeast Utah. This post-Chaco era house was built
like other Pueblo III pueblos; however, it has a prominent location surrounded by a community
of small sites like other Chacoan great houses. Macrofloral and botanic samples were
recovered from a room in the Great House (Feature 14) filled with a large, complex trash
deposit/midden. These samples will be compared with macrofloral sample 3966 from the
eastern part of TU 71 (71B and 71I) in the Bluff Great House (site 42Sa22764) that also
represents post-Chaco debris. Botanic samples were also recovered from an extramural trash
midden (Feature 10). Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning
subsistence activities at the Comb Wash Great House and how they compare with activities at
the contemporaneous Bluff Great House.
