Notes on Hinckson Site Palynology

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1992
Description

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…

Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1958. Discusses assumptions and problems of: techniques for extracting and identifying pollen, pollen distributions and deposition, analysis and statistics. Concludes that pollen study alone is not too reliable a methodology for establishing the types or durations of prior climatic events but it is reliable for reconstructing their geographic distributions and hypotheses of the reasons for climatic change.
