POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANAYSIS AT THE WATER USERS SITE, AZ U:6:23(ASM), ARIZONA

Twenty-five pollen and twenty macrofloral samples were submitted for analysis from the Water Users Site (AZ U:6:23(ASM)). Samples were collected primarily from structures and features to build a data base for the vegetal portion of the subsistence. Both pollen and macrofloral analyses will contribute to an understanding of resource production and procurement and site function. The nature of the subsistence base and degree of self-sufficiency of the community may be addressed. Possible seasonal fluctuations in site occupation and use may be addressed more readily through examination of the macrofloral record. Variety and ubiquity of cultivated plant remains will be compared with those of wild plant remains in the archaeological deposits.
