POLLEN AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF STRATIGRAPHIC AND HOUSEPIT SAMPLES FROM 48SU595, WYOMING

Site 48SU595 is an Archaic housepit site occupied between 4636 and 5899 BP,
accorded to corrected date ranges obtained from hearths. A stratigraphic column
was examined for pollen to provide information concerning vegetation and the
paleoenvironrrent and controls for interpreting sanplles fran housepits and
features. Two housepits are represented by nmnerous sanples collected and
examined fran the floors. Pollen and starch granule analysis was directed toward
interpretation of subsistence activities within these houses. In addition, two
exterior pits were examined for pollen and starch granules.

遗址48SU595为一处古风期（Archaic）房坑遗址，其居住年代基于灶坑遗存的校正测年结果，介于距今4636至5899年之间。研究人员对该遗址的地层剖面开展孢粉分析，以获取植被与古环境相关信息，并为解读房坑及遗迹内的出土样品提供参照依据。两处房坑均以从坑底采集并分析的大量样品为研究对象。孢粉与淀粉粒分析旨在解析这两处房址内的生业活动。此外，研究人员还对两处室外坑穴开展了孢粉与淀粉粒分析。
