Description
Pilot study to assess the type of archaeological-context pollen samples most likely to yield results commensurate with investment. Results suggest floor sediment and floor feature fill deposits will yield better data for developing a pollen sequence than floor contact deposits. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction, however, will require financial support for a major surface sample control research effort that cannot be justified as site-focussed cultural resources management.

DescriptionStudy of the pollen of 10 archaeological-context samples was limited to observation of number of grains per sample. Results suggest further research would be difficult because of low pollen concentrations, but of archaeological value for chronological control if certain conditions were met.

Description
Paper prepared for the 1971 Cahokia Ceramic Conference. This conference resulted in the chronological scheme of phases for American Bottoms and other Mississippian Culture sites that has remained in use to the present time. That scheme was published as Fowler, Melvin L. and R. H. Hall, 1972, Archaeological Phases at Cahokia. Illinois State Museum Research Series Papers in Anthropology No. 1. Springfield. The relationship of the pollen chronology to the ceramic phase sequence was not explored by the authors of that volume.
