Description
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1960. Illustration of five types of archaeologically relevant information from pollen study of site-context sediment samples: which sites do and do not yield pollen data; intra-site cross-dating of sample proveniences; information on cultivated plants; and relationships of cultural activities to environmental conditions.

DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archeology, 1962. Explores limitations of pollen studies intentionally designed to resolve problems of archaeological significance: issues of pollen preservation, cultural effects on the record, horizon/pollen zone duration, extraction technology, necessity to recognize interdisciplinary effects on methods and interpretation.

DescriptionComparison of pollen records of 7 archaeological context samples from this site with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology suggests occupation began before A.D. 850 and persisted at least until A.D. 900. These dates are consistant with associated ceramic styles.

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.

DescriptionPollen records of samples from four archaeological sites excavated as a highway salvage project in New Mexico allow feature cross-dating, chronological placement of the sites, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.

Description
Surface samples and stratigraphic sample series from 3 archaeological occupation sites and 2 samples from a burial site were examined for pollen in hopes of establishing a pollen sequence and paleoenvironmental interpretations. Both objectives achieved. Discussions of absolute dates of Woodland and Upper Republican contexts in this area and cultural ecology are included.

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.
