Botany and the Archaeologist: A Critical Assessment

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
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…

Phytogeography as a Survey Technique in Wisconsin

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1969
DescriptionAbstract of paper presented at the annual meetings off the Society for American Archeology, 1969. The antiquity of certain sites in north-central Wisconsin may be predicted by the character of associated forest vegetation. The data also justify paleoecological hypotheses relevant to culture historical reconstructions.

Archaeological Pollen Study of Two Dune Sites in New Mexico

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1976
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…

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.

A Post-Glacial Pollen Sequence From Dark Canyon Cave, New Mexico (With W.H. Balgemann)

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author) / Baglemann, Wilfred H. (Author)
Created1961
Description

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

Pollen Analysis, Site LA9152: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1964
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.

Palynological Analysis of the Tohatchi-Crownpoint Project: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1964
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.

Pollen Studies at the Sapawe Site: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1965
DescriptionUnpublished report, 1965

Discusses local vegetation patterns, modern pollen/vegetation relationships, pollen sequence and chronology for the site, correspondence of ceramic-dated pollen horizons at this site with those elsewhere in the SW, cultural ecological implications of the pollen record, and plant resource availability during prehistoric occupation.

Pollen Statistics From Pratt Cave: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1965
Description

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

Archaeological Pollen Analyses From North-central Wisconsin

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1966
Description

Study of 30 surface and 18 archaeological-context pollen samples was undertaken to assess the potential for further archaeological palynology research. Surface sample analysis allows palynological recognition of eight habitat types ranging from dry and cold through wet and moist to dry and warm. Comparison of fossil and modern surface pollen…

Study of 30 surface and 18 archaeological-context pollen samples was undertaken to assess the potential for further archaeological palynology research. Surface sample analysis allows palynological recognition of eight habitat types ranging from dry and cold through wet and moist to dry and warm. Comparison of fossil and modern surface pollen data suggests the character of paleoecological change sequences at 4 sites, a positive potential for inter-site and intra-site relative cross-dating, and a positive potential for inter-regional dating on paleoclimatic grounds.
