POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF A SANDSTONE SLAB FROM THE WATER CANYON PALEO INDIAN SITE (LA 134764), SOCORRO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Summary

The Water Canyon Paleo Indian Site (LA 134764) is one of a series of late Pleistocene/early Holocene sites observed eroding out of sediments along the first big bend in the Water Canyon drainage. Originally documented in 2001, this site covered an area of approximately 3250 sq m on a northeast-facing, gentle hillslope immediately above No Name Arroyo, an intermittent drainage. Continued work at the site has expanded the area to approximately 9 hectares (Robert Dello-Russo, personal communication September 8, 2016).
