AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
King analyzed the floral remains. Samples were water or chemically floated. The flora of the late 1800s is described along with the floral zones for the Late Archaic inhabitants. They had access to upland, slope, bottomland forest, hill praire, rivers, creeks, backwater lakes, and marshes. The data indicate wood for fuel was opportunistically collected. Most of the nutshell was thick-shelled hickory. Seeds included two small squash blossom scars; indications of domesticated plant use. Chenopod was the most common type of seed found.
