Report on a classroom pollen study using samples from a site and artificial terraces near Zuni Pueblo. Correspondence with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology allows dating of site-context deposits. Some unusual patterns in the distribution of economic pollen types for an Anasazi site, including occurrence of "Gossypium."
Draft of an article submitted for publication in, "Plateau." Suggests discrepancies between pollen cross-dating and ceramic cross-dates with tree rings may be the expected consequence of difference between the time pollen is deposited in a sample and the duration of the use-lifes of ceramic styles associated with the sample. Rejected by reviewers.
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.
