POLLEN ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE AND SOIL SAMPLES FROM THE BLACKJACK SITE (31CD1035) AND THE MCFADYEN POND SITE (31CD1008), NORTH CAROLINA
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2011
Summary
Three soil samples and one ground stone artifact from upland sites in the Sandhills of North Carolina were submitted for pollen analysis. The Blackjack Site (31CD1035) and the McFadyen Pond Site (31CD1008), both of which are of unknown cultural affiliation and date, are in vegetational communities dominated by longleaf pine, wire grass, and small oaks. Samples examined from the blackjack site represent a ground stone wash and soil collected from beneath the ground stone artifact. The McFayden Pond Site, which is located near wetlands, is represented by samples collected from fill from two features. Pollen analysis was undertaken to provide subsistence information about both sites.
