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 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.

DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1961. Discusses pollen sequence changes and environmental shifts evidenced by samples from ten sites and modern surface controls. Pollen record suggests irrigation in the Little Colorado River Basin 1275-1300 A.D.

Description
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.

Description
Unpublished report, 1965.
Study of pollen samples from these two Reeve Phase sites was undertaken excluding Cheno-am and Compositae pollen from the pollen sum. Cross-dating suggests a five-horizon pollen sequence; three horizons are evidenced a both sites, the other two are from samples superimosed on the occupation floors of rooms. Dates between A.D. 1375 and 1490 are suggested for the sequence. Also discusses economically significant pollen types and presents cultural ecological interpretations. Published 1973

DescriptionStudy of more than 100 pollen records to: define the site's PIV and Historic horizons pollen sequence, determine changes in arboreal coverage over time, assess likelihood of paleoclimatic change, and to consider the effects of pre-existing environments on culture.

Description
Pilot study of 9 pollen samples to assess pollen preservation, potential to aid stratigraphic analysis, and recognition of environmental changes.
