POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT A MULTICOMPONENT CAMP/BUTCHERING SITE'(48NA1060), NATRONA COUNTY, WYOMING

Pollen and macrofloral samples were collected from The Dry Creek Site (48NA1060), a very extensive open camp located on Dry Creek in central Wyoming. This multicomponent camp/butchering site exhibited a large number of unlined cobble-filled hearths, abundant fire-cracked rock, and large amounts of debitage. Pollen samples were collected stratigraphically to assess past vegetation and paleoenvironmental conditions. In addition, pollen and/or macrofloral samples were collected from five features. These samples were analyzed to provide information concerning local plants that might have been processed at this site.
