Soil samples from excavation units associated with sections of the Battery Wall at the
South Ferry Terminal Archaeological Project in New York City were examined for pollen and
phytolith plant remains. Botanic samples and one floated light fraction also were sent for
macrofloral identification. In addition, two botanic samples were recovered from Whitehall Slip,
located east of the Battery Park excavations. All of these samples are part of ongoing
archaeological investigations related to the construction of a new South Ferry Terminal located
at the tip of Manhattan. This area has a long history of human use that includes Native
American occupation, a European colonial settlement in 1624, numerous Dutch and British
military structures, followed later by rail and subway facilities. Pollen, phytolith and macrofloral
analyses of samples from this site should provide environmental information such as climate,
moisture availability, and locally dominant vegetation, as well as plants utilized for food and
other functions.
