PHYTOLITH AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITE SWCA 25783-1, LEA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Jammi L. Ladwig
Year: 2013
Summary
Two samples were collected from thermal features at site SWCA 25783-1 in Lea County, New Mexico, and analyzed for phytoliths and macrofloral remains. This site is a seasonal camp composed of a low density artifact scatter of lithics and ceramics, as well as several thermal features. Phytolith and macrofloral analyses will provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the site occupants. AMS radiocarbon dating of charcoal recovered from the macrofloral samples will help date the site occupation.
