STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS, ADRIEN'S LANDING, CONNECTICUT

The Adrien's Landing project encompasses portions of the Holocene floodplain along the Connecticut River in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. This area has seen intensive historic use and probably was a favored location for Woodland villages between approximately 2000 and 300 years ago. Stratigraphic pollen and phytolith analysis was conducted on sediments from several cores removed from these floodplains. These sediments are thought to span approximately the past 12,500 years. Samples were collected from individual strata within the cores, but not at close intervals.

阿德里安登陆点项目（Adrien's Landing）覆盖了康涅狄格州哈特福德市中心段康涅狄格河（Connecticut River）沿岸的部分全新世（Holocene）泛滥平原。该区域历史上开发强度较高，且在约2000至300年前可能是林地文化期（Woodland）村落的优选选址。研究人员针对从该泛滥平原获取的多根沉积物岩心内的沉积物，开展了地层孢粉与植硅体分析。据推测，这些沉积物的沉积时间跨度覆盖了过去约12500年。研究人员从各岩心内部的单个地层中采集了样品，但采样间距并未设置得过密。
