PHYTOLITH AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM LA 175601, LEA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2013
Summary
Site LA 175601, located along Salado Draw in Lea County, New Mexico, is a short-term plant processing site believed to have been used to procure plant resources locally. Fill from two thermal features were submitted for phytolith and macrofloral analyses to address questions of resource processing. Charcoal recovered from the macrofloral samples was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. Results from the phytolith and macrofloral analyses, as well as radiocarbon dates, will be applied to the greater understanding of landscape adaptation and settlement patterns in southeast New Mexico.
