POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES IN THE TEXACO BUZZARD BENCH WELL PADS PROJECT, CENTRAL UTAH
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 1999
Summary
Sediment samples from features at Sites 42EM2568, 42EM2569, 42EM2570, and 42EM2571 in Emery County, Utah, were examined for pollen and/or macofloral remains. Two individual charcoal samples also were identified. These four sites are part of the Texaco Buzzard Bench Well Pads project and represent Fremont occupations in the area. Charcoal and maize kernel fragments were collected from four of the samples and submitted for radiocarbon dating. Conventional, uncalibrated radiocarbon dates from the four sites range from 1770 ± 70 BP to 1330 ± 60 BP. Pollen and macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources available to and utilized by the Fremont occupants of the area.
