Prehistoric vegetation and paleoclimates on the Colorado Plateaus
anasazi in a changing environment • Cambridge • Published In 1988 • Pages: 92-118
By: Hevly, Richard H..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Hevly used the pollen records from non-archaeological deposits and from eight archaeological sites dating from (AD 350-1350) to reconstruct prehistoric vegetation. He attempts to distinguish some of the interacting factors that affect the pollen record. The variations in the pollen record appear to be geographically and temporally similar and 'appear to be closely related to climatic change and human activity.' (page 117).
