POLLEN ANALYSIS AT PREHISTORIC SITE 26CK7041 AND POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL, AND FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROMETRY (FTIR) ANALYSES AT HISTORIC SITE 26CK7053

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost

Year: 2007

Summary

Archaeobotanical samples were examined from two sites located on Oliver Ranch,

approximately 10 miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Samples from two possible hearth or

roasting features and a soil control were analyzed for pollen remains from prehistoric site

26CK7041. Samples also were submitted from three features at historic site 26CK7053. A

sample believed to represent hearth/stove ash from Feature 1, a residential cabin, and four

stratigraphic column samples from an area believed to be an animal pen or garden (Feature 2)

were examined using pollen, phytolith, macrofloral, and Fourier Transform Infrared

Spectrometry (FTIR) analysis. Two historic sealed bottles from Feature 3, a storage dugout,

were analyzed for organic remains using FTIR.
