Letter report of pollen study suggests the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology
Squash and possible maize pollen in sediment samples from checkdams suggests the features are prehistoric and were used for crop production. No evidence that local environment was different when the features were used.
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.
