POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON RESULTS, OF SAMPLES FROM SLEEPING RAINBOW RANCH, SITE 42WN1885, UTAH
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2005
Summary
Pollen and macrofloral samples were recovered from the Sleeping Rainbow Ranch, site
42WN1885, in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. This site contains both prehistoric and historic
components. Pollen samples were collected from a historic stone masonry structure, possibly a
fruit cellar, and from an unknown prehistoric trench-like feature. In addition, a control sample
was collected from the modern ground surface. Macrofloral samples were taken from the
prehistoric trench-like feature and from an isolated firepit. Charcoal from the firepit was
submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Pollen and macrofloral samples were examined in
order to identify plant resources available to both the prehistoric and historic occupants of the
site.
