Pollen, phytolith, parasite, and macrofloral analyses were conducted on samples from two privies, Features 292 and 213, situated on Lot 16, Package 118, Harper's Ferry National Park, West Virginia. These privies are believed to represent a pre-Civil War period during the 1830s-1850s (Feature 292), and the early 20th century (Feature 213). The Package 118 area consists of Lots 15 and 16, located in Lower Town Harper's Ferry, between Potomac and High Streets. Prior to 1836, these lots served as...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF A SOAPSTONE VESSEL FROM SITE NA-CA-SBA-204-1, SANTA YNEZ VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (2016)
A soapstone vessel recovered in a Santa Ynez Valley as part of a burial (13) of a woman aged 35–50. Radiocarbon dates of 802 ± 24 and 929 ± 23 RCYBP on shell recovered from a nearby burial have been reservoir corrected to 1659–1875 and 1507–1679 A.D., respectively. Charred food residue recovered from the interior of the soapstone vessel was studied to determine its contents. This vessel was recovered from Los Padres National Forest and curated at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum. Samples...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF ORGANIC RESIDUE FROM A SHERD AT THE CACHE SITE, 24HL49, MONTANA (2012)
The Cache site (24HL49) is a pottery cache located on the south side of the Milk River in the vicinity of the Fresno Dam, Fresno, Montana. Two vessels that date to the Late Prehistoric Period were recovered from the site, one nested inside the other. Vessel 1 is a nearly complete vessel, which is represented by 37 sherds and appears to have been crushed by the weight of the settling cap-rock. Black, carbonized organic matter was noted on the interior of the vessel. Vessel 2 is an incomplete,...

This important Neolithic site is located in the uplands. Although it does not appear to be a typical village, Ais Giorkis contains only limited cattle remains, which is unusual for Neolithic occupations. Three ground stone implements, which were relatively rare in the artifact assemblage, one stone bowl, and one...

Eleven samples, including fire cracked rock (FCR) sediment and lithic artifacts, were...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES AT SITES 36PE16 AND 36PE61 FOR THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BRIDGE PROJECT, NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA (2003)
Preliminary examination of a few pollen and phytolith stratigraphic samples from archaeological site 36PE16 in eastern Pennsylvania indicated that both records provided sufficient material for further analysis. Therefore, additional pollen and phytolith samples were examined from strata in three test pits at sites 36PE16 and 36PE61 to describe vegetation change through time. These closely spaced samples track vegetation change during the accumulation of the individual sediment packages. The...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES FOR THE POLYGON COMMUNITIES SITE, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (1998)
