POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSES FOR SITES 5AL88, 5AL639, 5AL640, 5AL766, AND 5SH2356, GREAT SAND DUNES NATIONAL MONUMENT, COLORADO

Summary
Companion pollen and phytolith samples were examined from eight samples
representing five Individual sites In Great Sand Dunes National Monument, Colorado. These
samples all represent fill from charcoaI stains, possible hearths, basin-shaped hearths, or
deflated hearths. The objective in collecting and analyzing these samples was to obtain
information concerning the plants that the occupants of these sites chose to cook in these
features. It is also a fact that fill samples record evidence of the local and regional vegetation at
the time the fill accumulated, which is usually after the features have been used. Therefore,
each of these samples is expected to yield a signature representing local and/or regional
vegetation.
