Created1963
DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archeology, 1963. Explores the question of how archaeologists may use paleoecological information to best advantage.

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.

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.

Created1988
Description
Set of documents and data tables presenting results of palynological studies initiated 1984 and completed 1988. The 1988 report was submitted to colleagues in the Department of Geography, University of Liverpool, for consideration as part of a planned volume of Pre-Alps village life edited by Prof. David Siddle. The volume was never compiled. An archaeological investigation

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.

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.

DescriptionProposes the initial phase of a long-term interdisciplinary research project to investigate the botanical, historical, anthropological and geological variables significant to scientific understanding of central Sonora, Mexico. Argues for development of new, truely interdisciplinary, research methodologies and research designs. Proposal never submitted.

Created1957
DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1957. Brief discussion of the then-present status of pollen analysis in New World archaeology, the potential archaeological value of an oil flotation technique for extracting pollen from sediment samples, and pollen sampling at archaeological sites.

Created1958
Description
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.
