MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, POLLEN ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 26CK6658 FOR THE LAUGHLIN REGIONAL HERITAGE GREENWAY TRAILS MONITORING PROJECT, NEVADA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2011

Summary

Samples from four prehistoric thermal features at site 26CK6658 were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Charred material from each of these features also was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. These features were examined as part of the Laughlin Regional Heritage Greenway Trail Monitoring Project in southern Nevada. This project is located along the Colorado River from Davis Dam south into the city of Laughlin. Pollen and macrofloral analyses were used to determine plant resources that might have been processed in these features, and AMS radiocarbon dating provided temporal information.
