POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES 42SA22318 AND 42SA22396, SOUTHERN UTAH

Samples from various features at Site 42SA22318 were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. In addition, soil from a small check dam at 42SA22396 was analyzed for pollen. Site 42SA22318 was a multicomponent site with dates ranging from 1070 + 50 BP to 300 + 50 BP, suggesting Pueblo II and Protohistoric (Navajo) occupations. A limited number of sherds from 42SA22396, and the presence of all manufacturing hoe stages, indicates an Anasazi utilization of the site, particularly during the Pueblo II/III period. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning plants processed at 42SA22318, and pollen analysis at 42SA22396 examines a small check dam for evidence of agriculture.对遗址42SA22318（Site 42SA22318）内各类遗迹的样品开展了花粉与大植物遗存（macrofloral remains）检测分析。此外，对编号42SA22396遗址处小型拦砂坝（check dam）的土壤样品进行了花粉分析。遗址42SA22318属于多组分遗址，测年范围介于1070±50 BP至300±50 BP之间，表明该遗址存在普韦布洛二世时期（Pueblo II）与近代史前（纳瓦霍）阶段的人类活动遗存。42SA22396遗址出土少量陶片（sherds），且发现了锄具制作各完整阶段的遗存，说明该遗址曾被阿纳萨齐文化（Anasazi）人群利用，尤以普韦布洛二世/三世时期为甚。针对42SA22318遗址的花粉与大植物遗存分析，旨在获取该遗址植物加工相关的信息；而针对42SA22396遗址的花粉分析，则通过对其小型拦砂坝的检测，探寻当地农业活动的相关证据。
