Archaeological Data Recovery at Site 48SW1242: Labarge Natural Gas Project, Appendix E: Pollen Analysis

Author(s): Linda J. Scott

Year: 1986

Summary

Pollen analysis was undertaken at 48SW1242, 4b, in connection with archaeological mitigation. This site is located at an elevation of 6450 ft in the Shute Creek Drainage Basin at the extreme western edge of Sweetwater County. Three components were recorded at the site. The later two components range in age from 1550 to 2170 B.P. Two stratigraphic columns, which combine to represent the entire period of occupation, were sampled for pollen to assess the paleoenvironment. In addition, samples were taken from several features in an effort to define subsistence activity at the site. The majority of the features sampled represent Component 3, and several are in proximity to a midden.
