PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTIONS IN SIEBER CANYON, WESTERN COLORADO (5ME4828)

Summary

Stratigraphic pollen samples were taken from two faces at site 5ME4828

to assess the paleoenvironment. Approximately four meters of fill is represented

by the stratigraphic column. Four separate cultural occupations were

contained within the column ranging in age from 3440 BC to 900 to 1100 AD.

The site is located in an arroyo and over 8 meters of fill was exposed by

downcutting of the arroyo. Only the upper approximately four meters were

sampled for this study. Funding for the palynological analysis was provided

by the Bureau of Land Management (P.O. C0-070-PH4-0254), the National Park

Service (P.O. PX-1200-5-0808), and Palynological Analysts.
