Subsistence: Plant Foods
A wide array of carbonized edible plant
remains was recovered from the Pueblo I
sites along the MAPL pipeline corridor. In
all, 38 economic taxa are represented, as
shown below. Based on ubiquity, the most
commonly consumed plant resources at the
sites were corn (40%), goosefoot (29%),
tansy mustard (15%) and Cheno-ams (14%).

To see how the macrobotanical data correlate with the
ground stone data, a graph was created to illustrate
the ubiquity of cultigens from samples collected from
Pueblo I sites in the Aztec, Durango, and Dolores-
Dove Creek areas. Significantly, the ubiquity data are
almost the same as the metate and mano data, with
the Durango area sites containing the highest
percentages of cultigens, followed by the Aztec, then
the Dolores-Dove Creek area sites.
