STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS OF 34 SAMPLES SPANNING THE HOLOCENE AT THE BULL CREEK SITE, 34BV176, BEAVER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA WITH SUPPORTING ARCHEOCLIMATE MODELS FOR BEAVER, OKLAHOMA

Author(s): R.A. Varney; Linda Scott Cummings

Summary

The Bull Creek site, 34BV176, is located in the High Plains physiographic region of western Beaver County, Oklahoma. The site is located within the short grass prairie biome, and consists of the modern soil and a series of buried paleosols, dating from 11 ,070±60 RCYBP to the present. One of these strata, dated to 10,850+210 RCYBP, contained spirally fractured bison bone and flaked stone. This site is situated on a cutbank in a meander of Bull Creek. Pollen analysis of 34 stratigraphic samples from these strata was undertaken to determine environmental changes in the area during the latest Pleistocene and through the Holocene. The pollen frequency curves established during the analysis are compared to an archaeoclimate model constructed using data from the Beaver, Oklahoma weather recording station.
