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.

DescriptionSet of studies and documents relevant to the Anasazi Origins archaeological project directed by Cynthia Irwin- Williams in central New Mexico 1965-1970. Pollen records of surface samples and rockshelter and dune sites representing whole of the Paleoindian

DescriptionUnpublished report, 1965
Discusses local vegetation patterns, modern pollen/vegetation relationships, pollen sequence and chronology for the site, correspondence of ceramic-dated pollen horizons at this site with those elsewhere in the SW, cultural ecological implications of the pollen record, and plant resource availability during prehistoric occupation.

DescriptionCulmination study of palynological research on samples collected in Mammoth Cave National Park (MCNP) initiated 1974, continued 1978. Reports Early Woodland archaeological-context recovery of maize and cucurbit pollen, summarizes overall research results and archaeological implications.

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.

Description
Sediment samples associated with a Mesolithic site on the shore of Tatton Mere contain pollen "downwashed" through the deposits since establishment of a soil on an aeolian dune that developed at the locale in Romano-British times. Application of the method suggested in Schoenwetter, 1990, "Method for the Application of Pollen Analysis in Landscape Archaeology," allows interpretation of the pollen sequence in terms of changes in local landuse. The result is wholly consistant with the sequence of landuses recorded for the locale since the 11th century. Rejected for European publication by reviewers.

DescriptionPilot study suggests archaeological-context pollen research may be applied to determining local irrigation history and early historic water rights.

Description
Pilot study suggests Puerto Rican archaeological-context sediment samples contain pollen but further research will be needed to develop a cost-effective extraction technique, and many samples may not have adequate pollen concentrations to justify paleoenvironmental interpretation.
