Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2010

Summary

Floated light fractions from features at site LA 32078 on the White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico were examined for macrofloral remains. Individual botanic, charcoal, and wood samples from these features also were identified. This site is an Early Formative Period, Jornado Mogollon, Mesilla phase (A.D. 200-A.D. 1000) habitation site containing shallow hut-type structures, shallow and deep pit structures, a small hearth/thermal feature, large bell-shaped pits, one small and isolated pit, and two burials. Macrofloral analysis and identification of botanic remains, charcoal, and wood were used to provide information concerning plants utilized by the occupants of this site.
