STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR SITE 10EL217, ELMORE COUNTY, IDAHO

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2016

Summary

Site 10EL217, situated across the river from Bancroft Springs, lies on a terrace overlooking the Snake River in Pasadena Valley. The test unit was excavated into alluvial fan sediments that overlie the river terrace sediments. Previous radiocarbon analysis suggests this area has been occupied at least intermittently for the past 3,300 years. Deeply buried archaeological deposits were encountered in the southern portion of the site, while the northern portion of the site has been impacted by agricultural activities (Lohse 2007:i). Stratigraphic samples were collected for pollen analysis to provide paleoenvironmental information.
