Pollen Stratigraphy of the Wetherill Mesa Region

James Schoenwetter

Abstract

Paper discusses pollen study of 115 samples from Wetherill Mesa (Mesa Verde National Park) undertaken at the Geochronology Laboratories, University of Arizona. Stratified pollen records from site 1205 provide information on past environmental events; records from site 1200 (Long House) contain horizon markers and a record of cultural activities. The majority of samples analyzed in an attempt to determine a palynological identifier of cornfields were unproductive.
