POLLEN ANALYSIS AT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN THE BIG HORN BASIN AND BRIDGER MOUNTAINS, WYOMING AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES 48WA1453 AND 48WA1460

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Thomas E. Moutoux; Laura Ruggiero

Year: 1998

Summary

Eight archaeological sites, representing Archaic and Late Prehistoric occupations in the Big Horn and Wind River Basins, were examined for pollen evidence of paleoenvironmental conditions and/or subsistence. In addition, two sites were analyzed for macrofloral remain evidence of subsistence. Comparison of the stratigraphic pollen records with geoarchaeological interpretations Increases the level of Interpretation for paleoenvironmental conditions during most of the Holocene. House floors, feature fills, and groundstone washes were examined to provide evidence for plant processing.
