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.

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.

DescriptionReports successful extraction of pollen from Mesolithic archaeological site-context deposits at moor locations using swirl flotation technology. Integration with previously obtained pollen records from Central Pennines Mesolithic sites suggests alternative to conventional archaeological interpretation.
