Complacent pollen records associated with both extinct fauna and archaeological remains argues that Southwest has been semi-arid throughout Late- and Post-Pleistocene.
Draft of report published in A.H. Schroeder, 1965, Anthropological Papers of the Department of Anthropology, University of Utah, Misc. Coll. Papers 75; 10: 85-110. Pilot study of 3 pollen samples suggests pollen chronology developed for Northern Arizona and New Mexico portions of the Colorado Plateau not applicable to SE Utah.
Unpublished report, 1974.
Summary of the observations and conclusions drawn from pollen studies of surface samples, core samples from Calimus Lake.
Report intended for inclusion in a volume on the archaeological salvage program undertaken in the Cahokia area of the American Bottoms under University of Illinois direction.
This study of 23 pollen samples allows recognition of a sequence of ecosystem changes occurring in central New Mexico between A.D. 1280 and 1400 and also in the 1650 - 1750 period. It also discusses the effects of such changes on aboriginal maize agriculture. Draft of the report included in Archaeological Excavations at Pueblo del Encierro.
Unpublished report, 1964
Pilot study of 3 pollen samples allows vegetation pattern reconstruction for period of occupation and suggests successful maize farming required water control technology.
Argues that the canons of evidence that apply to artifactual evidence of prehistoric behavior patterns are sometimes distinct from those that apply to non-artifactual evidence, and the logic and archaeological value of the latter is not less simply because it is different. The essay is intended to instruct and sensitise archaeologists to this issue as much as it is to allay concern that the pollen evidence for Archaic maize cultivation at the Koster site may not be credible. 49 p.
