POLLEN, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR SITES IN THE ASHLEY NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings; Jaime Dexter; R.A. Varney
Year: 2006
Summary
Samples were collected and examined from prehistoric sites 42DA1392, 42DC1859,
and 42DC1861 in the Ashley National Forest of northwestern Utah. These sites represent
multiple occupations of the area. Radiocarbon dates reflect Early Archaic and Fremont
occupations at 42DC1392, with Late Archaic and Fremont occupations at 42DC1859 and
42DC1861. Soil samples from these sites were analyzed for evidence of pollen/starches and
macrofloral remains. Charcoal was collected from macrofloral samples at 42DA1392 for
additional radiocarbon dating. A single charcoal sample from a hearth at site 42DC1861 also
was identified. Pollen, starch, and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide subsistence
information concerning plant resources utilized by the various occupants of these sites.
