MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF THREE FEATURES AT THE FLOWER HILL SITE 1, NISKAYUNA, NEW YORK

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Jaime Dexter

Year: 2006

Summary

Three macrofloral samples were collected from the fill of two basin-shaped pits and a

large thermal feature at the Flower Hill Site 1 in Schenectady County, New York.

Archaeological investigations were undertaken due to proposed subdivision construction in the

town of Niskayuna. Recovery of one Lamoka-type projectile point suggests that the site

represents a Late Archaic Lamoka Phase occupation of the area. Macrofloral analysis is used

to provide subsistence information concerning plant resources utilized by the site occupants.
