Description
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1960. Illustration of five types of archaeologically relevant information from pollen study of site-context sediment samples: which sites do and do not yield pollen data; intra-site cross-dating of sample proveniences; information on cultivated plants; and relationships of cultural activities to environmental conditions.

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.

Description
Study of the pollen of 4 surface and 41 stratigraphic and archaeological-context sediment samples was undertaken to provide independent evidence of the antiquity of sites LA 11828 and LA 11904, and of the hypothesis the two sites had the same cultural functions. The pollen record suggests the two sites differ in antiquity: the occupation horizon samples from LA 11828 correspond to others that date to the Historic Period, while those from LA 11904 correspond to others that date 1800 - 300 B.C. Palynological differences that are probably indices of seasonality of occupation argue for the sites having different cultural functions.

Description
Complacent pollen records associated with both extinct fauna and archaeological remains argues that Southwest has been semi-arid throughout Late- and Post-Pleistocene.

DescriptionComparison of pollen records of 7 archaeological context samples from this site with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology suggests occupation began before A.D. 850 and persisted at least until A.D. 900. These dates are consistant with associated ceramic styles.

DescriptionPollen records of samples from four archaeological sites excavated as a highway salvage project in New Mexico allow feature cross-dating, chronological placement of the sites, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.

Description
Surface samples and stratigraphic sample series from 3 archaeological occupation sites and 2 samples from a burial site were examined for pollen in hopes of establishing a pollen sequence and paleoenvironmental interpretations. Both objectives achieved. Discussions of absolute dates of Woodland and Upper Republican contexts in this area and cultural ecology are included.

Description
Pilot study of 9 pollen samples to assess pollen preservation, potential to aid stratigraphic analysis, and recognition of environmental changes.
