Description
Analysis of palynological and radiocarbon data from this site with comparable data from other sites leads to a general paleoenvironmental model covering the 8300-6000 B.P. period for the American Southwest. This allows reconstruction of the character of paleoclimatic variations on the resources used by the Archaic occupants of this cave site, and assessment of theories of the Anthropology of Southwestern Archaic populations.

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.

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.

DescriptionReport on this research has been lost, though pollen observed forms are filed with the site archaeological records.

Created1974
Description
Palynological study of 18 samples, including 5 associated with Archaic Period radiocarbon dates and 1 associated with Fremont Culture artifacts, identifies a pollen sequence for the site. The inferred paleoclimatic sequence fully agrees with dated sequences from central New Mexico and the Llano Estacado.

Description
Pilot study to assess the type of archaeological-context pollen samples most likely to yield results commensurate with investment. Results suggest floor sediment and floor feature fill deposits will yield better data for developing a pollen sequence than floor contact deposits. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction, however, will require financial support for a major surface sample control research effort that cannot be justified as site-focussed cultural resources management.

DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archeology. Explores types of information archaeologists can and cannot expect to obtain from initial palynological investigations at archaeological sites. Includes suggestions on pollen sampling.
