POLLEN ANALYSIS OF THREE EARLY NAVAJO SITES NEAR FARMINGTON, NEW MEXICO

Summary

Pollen samples were collected at three early historic Navaho sites

approximately fifteen miles north of Farmington, New Mexico in conjunction

with archaeological mitigation. Pollen analysis was oriented toward a

definition of subsistence activities that involved the use of plants at these

three sites. With the exception of control samples from the present ground

surface, all samples in this study represent hearths or roasting pits. A

total of 25 pollen samples was collected from these three sites from features

representing Archaic and early Navajo occupations.
