POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLES FROM SITE BATACOSA SON:S:7:2, SONORA, MEXICO

Summary

Seven soil samples from Batacosa SON:S:7:2 in Sonora, Mexico, were examined for pollen. Six of these samples were collected stratigraphically from Perfil 1, and the seventh represents fill from a burial. Ceramic seriation for this site indicates that it was occupied between AD 200 and 1500 by people of the Huatabampo culture. Pollen analysis of the stratigraphic samples provides information concerning local plant communities and the paleoenvironment, including documenting plants available for exploitation by local residents. The sample from the burial provides vegetation information specific to the time of burial and reflects at least some of the grave goods.
