This is a proposal to study the relationships between                   animals and plants and their interactions with the earth during                 the late Pleistocene and at the time of megafaunal extinctions                  on the Colorado Plateau.  Two study areas in the central                        Colorado Plateau will be investigated:  Forty Mile Canyon                       (containing principally BF Alcove and Grobot Grotto) and White                  Canyon (Bare Ladder Ruin).  Drug of mammals (mammoth, cf.                       camel, cf. shrub-ox, mountain goat, bison, among others), dating                +39,000 to 11,000 yr. B.P., will be analyzed for radiocarbon,                   size-weight ratio, size-fractional content, pollen,                             microhistology, and biochemical data.  These data will provide                  producer identifications, age, and diet.  Independent                           paleoenvironmental reconstruction will generated with the                       analysis of sedimentary history (23 m of stratified sediments in                one alcove), pollen from stratified alluvium and cave sediments                 (regional and local environments), and packrat middens                          (macrofossil; local communities).  The multidisciplinary                        approach will produce plant and animal data in direct                           association with each other.  Diets of extinct mammals will be                  documented, as will the time of their local extinction.                                 Northern Arizona University will provide: 1) the salary of              J.I. Mead (half-time academic) and L.D. Agenbroad, 2) the Bilby                 Research Center laboratory facilities, 3) curatorial space for                  dung and hair remains, 4) modern comparative collections of                     dung and hair, 5) the salary for chemist D. Russell, and 6) a                   modern organic chemistry laboratory.
