POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITES MQ 123, MJ 125, AND MJ 235 IN KAIBAB NATIONAL FOREST, NORTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA

Samples from Sites MJ 123, MJ 125, and MJ 235 were examined for pollen
and/or charred macrofloral remains. These sites are located in the Upper Basin,
which is located in Kaibab National Forest south of Grand Canyon National Park
in northern Arizona. Site MJ 123 is a fire-cracked rock-pile site. Three
Jeddito Plains sherds and four Desert Side-Notched projectile points suggest that
the site represents a Late Prehistoric (post-AD 1150) site. Site MJ 125 is a
Pueblo II Western Anasazi habitation ruin, and MJ 235 consists of an extramural
artifact scatter with activity areas and piles of fire-cracked rock. Pollen and
macrofloral analyses at these sites will be used to provide subsistence
information.

对MJ 123、MJ 125及MJ 235遗址的样本开展了花粉及/或炭化大植物遗存检测。上述遗址均位于上盆地（Upper Basin），该盆地地处亚利桑那州北部大峡谷国家公园（Grand Canyon National Park）以南的凯巴布国家森林（Kaibab National Forest）境内。MJ 123遗址为火烧碎石堆遗址，三件杰迪托平原陶片（Jeddito Plains sherds）与四件沙漠侧凹投射尖状器（Desert Side-Notched projectile points）表明，该遗址年代属于史前晚期（公元1150年之后）。MJ 125遗址为普韦布洛II期西部阿纳萨齐（Western Anasazi）居住废墟，而MJ 235则为一处带有活动区域与火烧碎石堆的遗址外人工制品散布区。对上述遗址开展的花粉与大植物遗存分析，将用于获取先民生计模式相关信息。
