An Archaeological Pollen Analysis of Joe’s Valley Alcove

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1981
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…

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.

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.

Utah W:5:50: Palynological Analysis

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1964
Description

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.

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."

Palynological Records of Joe's Valley Alcove: A Multicomponent Site in Southeastern Utah

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
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.

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.
