POLLEN ANALYSIS AT SITE 48CA1140 IN THE POWDER RIVER BASIN, WYOMING
Author(s): Linda J. Scott
Year: 1985
Summary
Site 48CA1140 is located on a terrace along the north side of Antelope
Creek in Campbell County, Wyoming. The site is situated on an intermittent
tributary to Antelope Creek. This multiple occupation campsite appears to
have been used by hunters and gatherers. Cultural materials were noted on
the surface and in the upper 10 cm of deposition. A backhoe trench placed
on the terrace edge near the drainage revealed a firehearth at a depth of 75
cm below the present ground surface, which was radiocarbon dated to 1240 +
60 BP. Pollen samples were taken stratigraphically in the backhoe trench in
which the hearth was recovered. Six pollen samples were taken from the
stratigraphic profile, one from each recognized soil strata. The
stratigraphic pollen samples are expected to provide paleoenvironmental data
for the period of occupation to present. A pollen sample was also taken
from the hearth in an effort to obtain subsistence data.
