MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM A COLUMN IN A BURNT ROCK MIDDEN AT THE SIMS-MAYNER SITE, CA-LAN-3151, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2009

Summary

Six samples from a column excavated through a burnt rock midden at the Sims-Mayner

site (CA-LAN-3151) were examined for macrofloral remains. This site is located in the Chilao

Flat Recreation Area of the San Gabriel Mountains in southwest California, and it represents a

small habitation initially occupied around AD 390-550. Projectile points suggest affiliation with

the Rose Spring Cultural Complex (cal AD 200-1100). Macrofloral analysis will be used to

provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the occupants of this site, specifically

season of use, woods burned as fuel, and types of resources processed.
