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.
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 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."
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
