The Archaic Maize Pollen of Koster: An Essay on Canons of Evidence

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1981
Description

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…

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.

Archaeological Palynology at AZ 2282: The Pilot Study

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1999
DescriptionClassroom excercise study of 32 samples from proxy surface, dune and pithouse contexts. Analysis used pollen categories rather than traditional pollen taxa. Results suggest the site's occupation history incorporates 5 distinct episodes of ecosystem change.

Pollen Analysis of Sediment Samples From the Largo-Gallina Area

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1967
Description

Pollen study of 6 surface and 11 archaeological-context samples from 2 sites of the Navajo Irrigation District salvage archaeology project. Correlation with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology is consistent with ceramic dating of the sites and features sampled. Includes discussion of this and other occurrences of "Juglans."

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.

Pollen Investigations of the Inundation Studies Program

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1977
DescriptionThe project objective was to determine if innundation of an archaeological site beneath the waters of a reservoir had a detrimental effect on the pollen of archaeological-context sediment samples. Poor planning, poor field execution of a sampling program, and incompetant program administration caused failure of the research effort.

Palynological Test of AZ U:16: 6(ASU)

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1980
DescriptionPilot study of 6 samples from an Archaic Period site to establish pollen concentration values, preservation problems, variety and frequency of taxa, necessity of unusual laboratory investment, and implications for further research.
