Hinckson Site Palynology

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1990
Description

Report on a classroom pollen study using samples from a site and artificial terraces near Zuni Pueblo. Correspondence with the Colorado Plateau Pollen Chronology allows dating of site-context deposits. Some unusual patterns in the distribution of economic pollen types for an Anasazi site, including occurrence of "Gossypium."

Notes on Hinckson Site Palynology

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1992
Description

Draft of an article submitted for publication in, "Plateau." Suggests discrepancies between pollen cross-dating and ceramic cross-dates with tree rings may be the expected consequence of difference between the time pollen is deposited in a sample and the duration of the use-lifes of ceramic styles associated with the sample. Rejected…

Draft of an article submitted for publication in, "Plateau." Suggests discrepancies between pollen cross-dating and ceramic cross-dates with tree rings may be the expected consequence of difference between the time pollen is deposited in a sample and the duration of the use-lifes of ceramic styles associated with the sample. Rejected by reviewers.

Archaeological Palynology at AZ 2282: The Pilot Study

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1999
DescriptionClassroom excercise study of 32 samples from proxy surface, dune and pithouse contexts. Analysis used pollen categories rather than traditional pollen taxa. Results suggest the site's occupation history incorporates 5 distinct episodes of ecosystem change.

Phytogeography as a Survey Technique in Wisconsin

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1969
DescriptionAbstract of paper presented at the annual meetings off the Society for American Archeology, 1969. The antiquity of certain sites in north-central Wisconsin may be predicted by the character of associated forest vegetation. The data also justify paleoecological hypotheses relevant to culture historical reconstructions.

Pollen Analysis, Site LA9152: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1964
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.

Pollen Studies at Picuris Pueblo: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1965
DescriptionStudy of more than 100 pollen records to: define the site's PIV and Historic horizons pollen sequence, determine changes in arboreal coverage over time, assess likelihood of paleoclimatic change, and to consider the effects of pre-existing environments on culture.

Archaeological Pollen Analyses From North-central Wisconsin

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1966
Description

Study of 30 surface and 18 archaeological-context pollen samples was undertaken to assess the potential for further archaeological palynology research. Surface sample analysis allows palynological recognition of eight habitat types ranging from dry and cold through wet and moist to dry and warm. Comparison of fossil and modern surface pollen…

Study of 30 surface and 18 archaeological-context pollen samples was undertaken to assess the potential for further archaeological palynology research. Surface sample analysis allows palynological recognition of eight habitat types ranging from dry and cold through wet and moist to dry and warm. Comparison of fossil and modern surface pollen data suggests the character of paleoecological change sequences at 4 sites, a positive potential for inter-site and intra-site relative cross-dating, and a positive potential for inter-regional dating on paleoclimatic grounds.
