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.

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.

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.

DescriptionComparison of pollen records of 7 archaeological context samples from this site with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology suggests occupation began before A.D. 850 and persisted at least until A.D. 900. These dates are consistant with associated ceramic styles.
