Palynological Dating of AZ U:9: 100

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1970
DescriptionReport on this research has been lost, though pollen observed forms are filed with the site archaeological records.

Pollen Studies in the Marble Canyon Area, Arizona (With V. DaCosta)

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author) / Da Costa, Veronica (Author)
Created1976
Description

Squash and possible maize pollen in sediment samples from checkdams suggests the features are prehistoric and were used for crop production. No evidence that local environment was different when the features were used.

Archaeological Pollen Study of Two Dune Sites in New Mexico

Description
Study of the pollen of 4 surface and 41 stratigraphic and archaeological-context sediment samples was undertaken to provide independent evidence of the antiquity of sites LA 11828 and LA 11904, and of the hypothesis the two sites had the same cultural functions.

Study of the pollen of 4 surface and 41 stratigraphic and archaeological-context sediment samples was undertaken to provide independent evidence of the antiquity of sites LA 11828 and LA 11904, and of the hypothesis the two sites had the same cultural functions. The pollen record suggests the two sites differ in antiquity: the occupation horizon samples from LA 11828 correspond to others that date to the Historic Period, while those from LA 11904 correspond to others that date 1800 - 300 B.C. Palynological differences that are probably indices of seasonality of occupation argue for the sites having different cultural functions.

Apache-Sitgreaves Palynology

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1976
DescriptionPilot study of 13 surface and 9 archaeological-context pollen samples from 2 sites in the Black River Ranger District. Analysis suggests a local pollen chronology can be developed from such samples, but paleoecological interpretation would be difficult.

Pollen Investigations of the Inundation Studies Program

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1977
DescriptionThe project objective was to determine if innundation of an archaeological site beneath the waters of a reservoir had a detrimental effect on the pollen of archaeological-context sediment samples. Poor planning, poor field execution of a sampling program, and incompetant program administration caused failure of the research effort.

Surface and Archaeological Sediment Pollen Studies in the Mammoth Cave National Park Study Area: A Methodological and Interpretive Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1978
Description

Studied modern pollen rain/vegetation pattern relationships through discriminant functions analysis in Mammoth Cave National Park, KY, and archaeological-context pollen records from local Middle Woodland and Late Woodland sites. Concludes that analysis of this sort identifies control data for interpreting archaeological pollen records in terms of paleovegetation and paleoecological patterns.

Pollen Studies at the Sapawe Site: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1965
DescriptionUnpublished report, 1965

Discusses local vegetation patterns, modern pollen/vegetation relationships, pollen sequence and chronology for the site, correspondence of ceramic-dated pollen horizons at this site with those elsewhere in the SW, cultural ecological implications of the pollen record, and plant resource availability during prehistoric occupation.

Report on Palynological Investigations (Hopi Buttes Area)

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1967
Description

Attempt to cross-date alluvial beds through pollen study of CCa horizon samples failed. Pollen concentrations too low, though pollen preservation was adequate.
