Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2018

Summary

Site CA-030-2147 is a small rockshelter situated in the foothills of the Klamath Mountains near the town of Hornbrook in Siskiyou County, California. The rockshelter was occupied between the late prehistoric and early historic period. A sample collected from the shelter was submitted for pollen, phytolith, and starch analysis to identify evidence of local vegetation and possibly use. In addition, a “pinch” sample was collected in the vicinity of the shelter to provide control for the pollen analysis.
