POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF BULK SOIL SAMPLES AND IDENTIFICATION OF DETRITAL CHARCOAL SAMPLES FROM ALONG THE MIDDLE FORK JOHN DAY RIVER, OREGON
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2008
Summary
Samples from along the Middle Fork of the John Day River in east-central Oregon were collected for a study of fluvial geomorphology. A total of 27 detrital charcoal samples were submitted for identification, and three bulk soil samples were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. These samples were recovered from soil pit or natural bank exposures along the river. Macrofloral, including charcoal, and pollen identifications will be used to provide information concerning plant taxa that may have been present in this area prehistorically.
