Hinckson Site Palynology

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)

Created1990

Description

Report on a classroom pollen study using samples from a site and artificial terraces near Zuni Pueblo. Correspondence with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology allows dating of site-context deposits. Some unusual patterns in the distribution of economic pollen types for an Anasazi site, including occurrence of "Gossypium."

Notes on Hinckson Site Palynology

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)

Created1992

Description

Draft of an article submitted for publication in, "Plateau." Suggests discrepancies between pollen cross-dating and ceramic cross-dates with tree rings may be the expected consequence of difference between the time pollen is deposited in a sample and the duration of the use-lifes of ceramic styles associated with the sample. Rejected…

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.

The Import of New Palynological Techniques

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)

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.
