IDENTIFICATION OF WOOD AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES IN THE GREAT SAND DUNES NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2009

Summary

Four samples of wood from wickiup structures at sites 5AL596, 5AL738, 5SH2172, and

5SH1912, as well as wood from a possible stone enclosure at 5HF2163, were submitted for

identification. In addition, fill from a small hearth visible on the surface inside a wickiup in a

small rockshelter at 5AL596 was floated to recover macrofloral remains to provide information

concerning possible plant resources utilized by the shelter occupants. These sites are located

in the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, southern Colorado. Samples were

examined as part of the Great Sand Dunes Eolian System Archaeological Project (FEC Project

# 00-606).
