Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1987

Summary

The Baccharis Site (NA 19,342) is located northwest of Phoenix along

the east bank of the New River Drainage. Culturally, this site exhibits an

early occupation, represented by late Pioneer and Colonial Period materials.

The specific affiliation is to the Snaketown Phase (or slightly early), as

well as the Gila Butte and Santa Cruz Phases. Twenty-four pollen samples

were selected for analysis from this site for the purpose of examining the

vegetal portion of the subsistence base. These samples represent a variety

of proveniences within the site, including pithouse floors, firepits, a

storage pit, a secondary cremation, and trash areas.
