Popular version of Bethsaida pollen research prepared for "Discovering Archaeology" prior to the date that journal ceased publication. Rejected by "Biblical Archaeology."
Complacent pollen records associated with both extinct fauna and archaeological remains argues that Southwest has been semi-arid throughout Late- and Post-Pleistocene.
Pilot study of 9 pollen samples to assess pollen preservation, potential to aid stratigraphic analysis, and recognition of environmental changes.
Study of 97 pollen samples suggests that pollen occurs in sufficient quantity for analysis, that economic pollen types occur, and that pollen sequences indicate paleoenvironmental changes over time. An extraction technique for recovering sufficient pollen for analysis is described for samples dominated by coral sand particles. 29 pollen taxa were recognized in the analysis of a series of samples from a Futuna Island rockshelter.
