POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR THE MOXA HOUSEPIT SITE (48LN616), WYOMING

Twenty-five pollen samples were submitted for analysis from the Moxa Housepit Site
(48LN616). These samples represent three occupations. Occupation 1 contains several
occupations that cannot be separated stratigraphically. Radiocarbon ages of 4430 ± 70 BP
(Feature 5) and 4210 ± 70 BP (Feature 3) have been returned for Occupation 1. A previous date
of 5790 ± 50 BP was available from Feature 4, noted in the upper portion of Occupation 1. A single
radiocarbon age for Occupation 2 was obtained from Feature 1 B (4390 ± 60 BP). Occupation 3
is represented by an age of 4270 ± 70 BP, returned for Feature 16.

本次提交供分析的25份花粉样本采自编号为48LN616的莫克斯屋坑遗址（Moxa Housepit Site）。这批样本涵盖三个居住遗存阶段。第一居住遗存阶段包含若干无法通过地层学（stratigraphic）手段区分的次级遗存；针对该阶段，已获得两处遗迹的碳十四测年数据：遗迹5（Feature 5）为4430±70 距今（Before Present，BP），遗迹3（Feature 3）为4210±70 BP。此前从第一居住遗存阶段上部层位的遗迹4（Feature 4）中，已获取过5790±50 BP的测年结果。第二居住遗存阶段的唯一一处碳十四测年数据采自遗迹1B（Feature 1B），测年数值为4390±60 BP。第三居住遗存阶段的测年结果采自遗迹16（Feature 16），数值为4270±70 BP。
