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.

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. The pollen record suggests the two sites differ

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description

Argues that the canons of evidence that apply to artifactual evidence of prehistoric behavior patterns are sometimes distinct from those that apply to non-artifactual evidence, and the logic and archaeological value of the latter is not less simply because it is different. The essay is intended to instruct and sensitise

Argues that the canons of evidence that apply to artifactual evidence of prehistoric behavior patterns are sometimes distinct from those that apply to non-artifactual evidence, and the logic and archaeological value of the latter is not less simply because it is different. The essay is intended to instruct and sensitise archaeologists to this issue as much as it is to allay concern that the pollen evidence for Archaic maize cultivation at the Koster site may not be credible. 49 p.

Description

Pilot study suggests Puerto Rican archaeological-context sediment samples contain pollen but further research will be needed to develop a cost-effective extraction technique, and many samples may not have adequate pollen concentrations to justify paleoenvironmental interpretation.
