Pollen Records of the Walhalla Glades Survey

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1982
Description
Study of 23 pollen samples associated with archaeological sites in the Walhalla Glades district of Grand Canyon National Park yields surface sample data not consistant with prior research, possibly because the samples are actually of sediment deposited during the period the sites were occupied. Pollen record suggests local prehistoric cultivation…

Study of 23 pollen samples associated with archaeological sites in the Walhalla Glades district of Grand Canyon National Park yields surface sample data not consistant with prior research, possibly because the samples are actually of sediment deposited during the period the sites were occupied. Pollen record suggests local prehistoric cultivation in a paleoenvironment quite distinct from that presently occurring in this district.

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 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.

Pollen Studies at Reed Ruin and the Davis Ranch Site: Preliminary Report

ContributorsSchoenwetter, James (Author)
Created1965
Description
Unpublished report, 1965.

Study of pollen samples from these two Reeve Phase sites was undertaken excluding Cheno-am and Compositae pollen from the pollen sum. Cross-dating suggests a five-horizon pollen sequence; three horizons are evidenced a both sites, the other two are from samples superimosed on the occupation floors of rooms. Dates…

Unpublished report, 1965.

Study of pollen samples from these two Reeve Phase sites was undertaken excluding Cheno-am and Compositae pollen from the pollen sum. Cross-dating suggests a five-horizon pollen sequence; three horizons are evidenced a both sites, the other two are from samples superimosed on the occupation floors of rooms. Dates between A.D. 1375 and 1490 are suggested for the sequence. Also discusses economically significant pollen types and presents cultural ecological interpretations. Published 1973

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.
