POLLEN ANALYSIS AT CEDAR SIDING SHELTER (42EH1533), EMERY COUNTY, UTAH

Excavation of a series of overhangs in Emery County, Utah, known as the
Cedar Siding Shelter (42EM1533) included pollen sampling. Cedar Siding
Shelter is a series of overhangs located around a single, large boulder.
The site ranges in age from Middle Archaic to Fremont. Water is currently
available from nearby Grassy Trail Creek and an unnamed intermittent
drainage. Price River flows approximately 2 1/2 miles to the south of the
site. Eleven pollen samples were selected for analysis, and included both a
stratigraphic column and feature samples (Table 1). The stratigraphic
column was analyzed to assess the paleoenvironment, while the feature
samples were analyzed in an effort to define subsistence patterns at the
site.

对美国犹他州埃默里县一处编号为42EM1533、名为锡德崖棚（Cedar Siding Shelter）的系列崖棚遗址开展发掘期间，同步实施了孢粉采样工作。
该遗址由环绕单一块巨型漂石的多处崖棚构成。
遗址年代跨度从中阿卡迪亚时期（Middle Archaic）至弗里蒙特文化期（Fremont）。
目前遗址附近的格拉西特雷尔溪（Grassy Trail Creek）与一条未命名的季节性间歇径流道可提供水源。
普赖斯河（Price River）大致流经遗址以南约2.5英里处。
本次研究共选取11份孢粉样本开展分析，样本涵盖地层柱（stratigraphic column）样本与遗迹样本（feature samples），详见表1。
对地层柱样本的分析旨在重建遗址古环境（paleoenvironment），而对遗迹样本的分析则用于明晰该遗址的生业模式（subsistence patterns）。
