Starch Analysis (Other Keyword)
226-250 (265 Records)
Three hopper mortar bases from the Logan Valley in Malheur National Forest, Oregon, were washed to recover pollen, starches, phytoliths, and protein residues in order to determine what types of resources might have been processed with these tools. Soil samples associated with each hopper mortar were processed and examined to serve as controls. The Logan Valley Aspen Grove site is located in this valley and produced one of the mortar bases for analysis. A variety of artifacts have been...

STARCH AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF STONE TOOLS FROM THE SIREN SITE, 41WM1126, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS (2011)
Nine stone tools, mostly groundstone, were submitted for starch analysis from the Siren Site, 41WM1126, Texas. Because the extraction method produced phytoliths along with the starch, the phytoliths were also examined. The starch grains and phytoliths recovered from the use surfaces of these tools may provide subsistence and tool function information.
