MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE CA-SDI-10611B FOR THE ROBERTSON RANCH EAST MONITORING PROJECT, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2007
Summary
The floated light fractions from nine features and one general midden sample were
examined for macrofloral remains. These features were discovered at the Robertson Ranch
East Monitoring Project at site CA-SDI-10611B in the City of Carlsbad, San Diego County,
California. Samples were recovered from five roasting pits, two concentrations of fire-altered
rock and charcoal located next to the roasting pits, and two small, shallow hearths. Multiple
levels of fill were sampled in two of the roasting pits. The general midden sample serves as a
control for the feature samples. Radiocarbon dating of shell suggests that the site dates to
approximately 1490 BP, corresponding to a transition phase from the Archaic to the Late
Prehistoric/Kumeyaay. Macrofloral analysis will be used to provide subsistence information
concerning plant resources utilized by the site occupants.
