POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES OF FOUR SITES AROUND JACKSON LAKE, WYOMING

Summary

Eight pollen and seventeen flotation samples were collected from

features at seven archaeological sites along the shores of Jackson Lake,

Wyoming. These sites are located in areas supporting primarily coniferous

timber surrounding Jackson Lake. Lodgepole pine and fir make up most of

this timbered community, while the understory currently exhibits large

pioneer plant communities as a result of the disturbance caused by

fluctuations in the level of Jackson Lake. These sites range in age from

Paleo-Indian to Late Prehistoric. 80th the pollen and macrofloral

(flotation) samples were collected from features in an effort to obtain data

concerning the floral portion of the subsistence base at these sites.
