MACROBOTANICAL REMAINS RECOVERED FROM 25FT70: A STUDY OF CULTIVATED PLANTS

Charred macrobotanical remains were removed from the floors and features of several houses excavated for the River Basin Survey in 1948. These remains have since been housed at the Smithsonian Institution. The opportunity to analyze and report on these remains is a rare one. This study quantifies the remains recovered during excavation forty years ago, and interprets the use of features and economy at 25FT70. In addition, it places this occupation within a regional perspective regarding the use and storage of cultivated plants.
