DescriptionField observations and test pit results revealed the alluvial/paleoclimatic chronology of the locality and explained the presence of Cochise Era artifacts in gravel lenses.

DescriptionProposes the initial phase of a long-term interdisciplinary research project to investigate the botanical, historical, anthropological and geological variables significant to scientific understanding of central Sonora, Mexico. Argues for development of new, truely interdisciplinary, research methodologies and research designs. Proposal never submitted.

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
Pilot study to assess the type of archaeological-context pollen samples most likely to yield results commensurate with investment. Results suggest floor sediment and floor feature fill deposits will yield better data for developing a pollen sequence than floor contact deposits. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction, however, will require financial support for a major surface sample control research effort that cannot be justified as site-focussed cultural resources management.

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 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.

DescriptionPaper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archeology. Explores types of information archaeologists can and cannot expect to obtain from initial palynological investigations at archaeological sites. Includes suggestions on pollen sampling.

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.

DescriptionProject objective was to reconstruct site paleoenvironment at time of occupation.

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.
