EMAP (2014) - Report: Initial Pollen Analysis of Samples from LA 3949, New Mexico

Part of the EMAP - Reports project

Author(s): Laura Popova

Year: 2014

Summary

Ten samples were selected form LA 3949 in New Mexico for pollen. All of the samples, based on the provenience notes, come from floors. Pollen deposited in the course of processing, cooking, craft manufacture, and storage is mixed on floors by walking, sweeping, and other activities. Over time, some of this pollen becomes compacted into floor sediments incorporating a “time-averaged” record of resource use mixed with the regional pollen rain. It is not possible to talk about change over time given that I only analyzed one sample from the Classic Period and the rest of the samples studied were all Post-Classic (see figure 1). Still, it is possible to give an assessment of the botanical resources that were near the site.
