POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF A STRATIGRAPHIC PROFILE AND FEATURES FROM SITE 15OH161, OHIO COUNTY, KENTUCKY

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost

Year: 2010

Summary

Site 15OH161, an east-facing sandstone rockshelter site in Ohio County, western Kentucky, yielded evidence of multiple occupations. While only the Archaic and Early to Middle Woodland occupations were sampled for pollen analysis and radiocarbon dates reported for features from this site range from 6050 ± 40 BP to 4230 ± 40 BP, there is also a Late Woodland/Mississippian component. Only the Archaic components were in good context, therefore. Considerable disturbance as a result of human looting and animal (hog) activity was noted.
