POLLEN AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT SAMPLES FROM SITE 48SU3993, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2017

Summary

Site 48SU3993 exhibits three cultural components representing the Great Divide phase of the Early Archaic, the Opal phase of the Early Archaic, and the Pine Spring phase of the Late Archaic. Situated in the northern portion of the Wyoming Basin, this hunter-gatherer open camp represents multiple short-term residential camps. Pollen analysis of the modern surface, three stratigraphic samples, and nine thermal feature samples, as well as starch analysis of the same nine thermal feature samples, provides paleoenvironmental and subsistence interpretations (Table 1).
