POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS FOR SITE 41KR621, TEXAS

Summary

Site 41KR621 is located within the boundaries of a proposed right-of-way extension

along Spur 98 in Kerrville, Texas. Situated on the southern approach of Spur 98 to the

Guadalupe River, this multi-component, Mid to Late Holocene prehistoric site covers the entire

highway right-of-way from the base of an upland toeslope at the southern terminus to the scarp

of a terrace above the river. Soil matrix samples from several features at the site were

examined for pollen and phytoliths, as were samples from a stratigraphic column from units

CT 3 and CS 3. Pollen and phytolith analyses are used to provide a backdrop of information

concerning local vegetation and the paleoenvironment, as well as information concerning plant

resources available to and utilized by the prehistoric occupants of site 41KR621 , which is

believed to have experienced Early, Middle and Late Archaic occupations.
