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 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. Also see Schoenwetter 1994

Description
Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Society for American Archeology, 1968. Argues for necessity to employ an interdisciplinary methodology when archaeologists work with Natural History specialists. This demands learning to translate archaeological problems into paleobotanical research terms, and developing methods properly designed to the task(s) of resolving those problems.

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.
