Description
Version of 1976 Marble Canyon report prepared for publication. Rejected by "Plateau."
ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1958
Description
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1958. Discusses assumptions and problems of: techniques for extracting and identifying pollen, pollen distributions and deposition, analysis and statistics. Concludes that pollen study alone is not too reliable a methodology for establishing the types or durations of prior climatic events but it is reliable for reconstructing their geographic distributions and hypotheses of the reasons for climatic change.

Created1957
DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1957. Brief discussion of the then-present status of pollen analysis in New World archaeology, the potential archaeological value of an oil flotation technique for extracting pollen from sediment samples, and pollen sampling at archaeological sites.
ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1967
Description
Pollen study of 6 surface and 11 archaeological-context samples from 2 sites of the Navajo Irrigation District salvage archaeology project. Correlation with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology is consistent with ceramic dating of the sites and features sampled. Includes discussion of this and other occurrences of "Juglans."

Created1968
Description
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1968. Argues for necessity to employ an interdisciplinary methodology when archaeologists work with Natural History specialists. This demands learning to translate archaeological problems into paleobotanical research terms, and developing methods properly designed to the task(s) of resolving those problems.

Created1975
DescriptionField observations and test pit results revealed the alluvial/paleoclimatic chronology of the locality and explained the presence of Cochise Era artifacts in gravel lenses.
ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author) / Da Costa, Veronica (Author)
Created1976
Description
Squash and possible maize pollen in sediment samples from checkdams suggests the features are prehistoric and were used for crop production. No evidence that local environment was different when the features were used.
ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1977
DescriptionThe project objective was to determine if innundation of an archaeological site beneath the waters of a reservoir had a detrimental effect on the pollen of archaeological-context sediment samples. Poor planning, poor field execution of a sampling program, and incompetant program administration caused failure of the research effort.
ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1980
DescriptionPilot study of 6 samples from an Archaic Period site to establish pollen concentration values, preservation problems, variety and frequency of taxa, necessity of unusual laboratory investment, and implications for further research.
ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1961
DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1961. Discusses pollen sequence changes and environmental shifts evidenced by samples from ten sites and modern surface controls. Pollen record suggests irrigation in the Little Colorado River Basin 1275-1300 A.D.
