POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM WOODFORD’S BRIGADE SITE, VALLEY FORGE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, PENNSYLVANIA

The Woodford’s Brigade Site is situated within Valley Forge National Historical Park, southeastern Pennsylvania. This area of the park, associated with General Woodford’s Brigade, is located on the southern slopes of Mount Joy, on a grassy field (Matthew Kalos, personal communication August 8, 2014). Two soil samples, collected from two trenches in a “pipe trench” feature, were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains to better understand the origin of this trench.
