Utah W:5:50: Palynological Analysis

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1964
Description

Draft of report published in A.H. Schroeder, 1965, Anthropological Papers of the Department of Anthropology, University of Utah, Misc. Coll. Papers 75; 10: 85-110. Pilot study of 3 pollen samples suggests pollen chronology developed for Northern Arizona and New Mexico portions of the Colorado Plateau not applicable to SE Utah.

Palynological Records of Joe's Valley Alcove: A Multicomponent Site in Southeastern Utah

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1974
Description

Palynological study of 18 samples, including 5 associated with Archaic Period radiocarbon dates and 1 associated with Fremont Culture artifacts, identifies a pollen sequence for the site. The inferred paleoclimatic sequence fully agrees with dated sequences from central New Mexico and the Llano Estacado.

Llano Grande Project

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author) / Lavold, Lisa D. (Author)
Created2004
Description

Documents related to pollen studies at the Llano Grande site, Jalisco, Mexico. The 2002 report on this research contains tables of pollen observed, but presents interpretations based on a preliminary assessment of site stratigraphy. The 2004 report was prepared after a more thorough final report from 2000 on site stratigraphy.

An Archaeological Pollen Analysis of Joe’s Valley Alcove

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1981
Description
Analysis of palynological and radiocarbon data from this site with comparable data from other sites leads to a general paleoenvironmental model covering the 8300-6000 B.P. period for the American Southwest. This allows reconstruction of the character of paleoclimatic variations on the resources used by the Archaic occupants of this cave…

Analysis of palynological and radiocarbon data from this site with comparable data from other sites leads to a general paleoenvironmental model covering the 8300-6000 B.P. period for the American Southwest. This allows reconstruction of the character of paleoclimatic variations on the resources used by the Archaic occupants of this cave site, and assessment of theories of the Anthropology of Southwestern Archaic populations.

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1976
DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archeology. Explores types of information archaeologists can and cannot expect to obtain from initial palynological investigations at archaeological sites. Includes suggestions on pollen sampling.

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.
