POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF THE FILL FROM A SMALL THERMAL FEATURE AT SITE 10EL217, IDAHO

Fill from a small thermal feature at site 10EL17 in southern Idaho was examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This feature exhibited a cluster of river cobbles, many of which were thermally altered, and it is believed to be a hearth or possible roasting feature associated with a late prehistoric Shoshone occupation. Pollen and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the prehistoric occupants of the site.
