POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR SITES IN THE LAS VEGAS WASH, NEVADA

Summary

Ten samples were examined for starch and pollen from nine archaeological sites in the

Las Vegas Wash of southern Nevada. These samples represent features of cleared areas in

desert pavement. Pollen and starch analysis was conducted in an effort to determine whether

these cleared areas were cultural or natural. If they were cultural areas, raw foodstuffs might

have been placed or perhaps stored in these locations.
