POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT SITE 42TO137, MOSQUITO WILLIE, UTAH

Samples from Mosquito Willie (42To137), located in a cold desert shrub community on the west side of the Great Salt Lake Desert approximately 15 miles south of Wendover, Utah, were examined for pollen, macrofloral remains, or charcoal to identify plants that were processed and/or used by occupants of this site. Springs east of the site provide riparian resources not available in the more xeric desert shrub community in which the site is located. Pollen, macrofloral, and charcoal analyses examine material from cultural levels at various areas within the site.
