EXPLORATORY POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS FOR THE TALEGA SITE (CA-ORA-907), SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (2006)
Thirteen pollen and eight phytolith samples collected stratigraphically from sediments at CA-ORA-907 were examined to provide information necessary to reconstruct the past vegetation at the Talega site. The stratigraphic sediments reach a depth of. at least 61 feet, where a radiocarbon age of 14,980 ± 70 BP was obtained. Most of the sediments examined accumulated between approximately 15,000 BP and 8,000 BP and are anchored by one or more radiocarbon ages.

Five sediment samples were submitted for evaluation of pollen and phytolith contents. No provenience information was submitted with the samples to compare the quantities of pollen and phytoliths and their condition with specific or general provenience information. At this time, it is not known whether these samples represent stratigraphic contexts or features.

THE LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL: EXAMINATION OF PIT FEATURES FROM FORT CLATSOP, OREGON, FOR POLLEN, PHYTOLITHS, PARASITES, STARCH GRANULES, AND MACROFLORAL REMAINS (2002)
Ten samples collected stratigraphically through sediment from a suspected privy pit and a post mold at Fort Clatsop, Oregon, were examined for pollen, starch, parasites, phytoliths, and macrofloral remains to obtain information that might assist in identifying the function of these features. The presence or absence of parasite eggs and/or recovery of probable food remains are used to contribute to an interpretation of privy function.
MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF HEARTH FILL FROM 5MF4973, NORTHEAST COLORADO (2002)
The fill from a basin-shaped hearth in a jeep trail at site 5MF4973 was floated to recover charred macrofloral remains. This site is believed to represent a prehistoric camp-type site and is located north of Maybell, Colorado. Macrofloral analysis is used to provide information concerning plant resources that might have been processed in the hearth and woods burned as fuel. Charcoal recovered from the hearth fill was submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis.
MACROFLORAL, POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PARASITE ANALYSIS OF THREE NINETEENTH CENTURY PRIVIES LOCATED AT SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY; SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA (2007)
Twenty-seven samples from three privies (Features 6, 14 and 62) discovered at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California, were submitted for archaeobotanic analyses. These three privies are associated with a German immigrant community that dated to the latter half of the nineteenth century. Each of the samples was analyzed for macrofloral remains, pollen, starch, and the presence or absence of parasites. One sample from each privy was also examined for phytoliths. The macrofloral,...
MACROFLORAL, POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF MATERIAL FROM FRANKTOWN CAVE, SITE 5DA272, COLORADO (2006)
Franktown Cave is a large rockshelter in Douglas County, Colorado, that experienced multiple occupations from at least the Middle Archaic through the Protohistoric periods. A large amount of material has been collected in the cave from five separate excavations dating to the 1940s, 1950s, and 1976 including chipped stone artifacts; ground stone; potsherds; perishable artifacts such as fiber, hide, bone, and wood; and ecofacts such as com, other plant remains, animal bone, shell, and wood. A...
MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS AND AMS DATING OF A STEATITE SHERD, IDDINS SITE, TENNESSEE (2006)
A fragment of a steatite bowl was submitted for pollen, starch, and phytolith analysis, as well as for AMS radiocarbon dating. Establishing a date for this residue and vessel is critical to understanding the context of its use.
MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF ORGANIC FILL FROM HJCL-9, UIVAK POINT 1, CANADA (2005)
Site HjCl-9 (Uivak Point 1) is located in Labrador, Canada. This protohistoric spring/winter/fall settlement camp containing nine houses is thought to have been occupied in the seventeenth and/or eighteenth centuries. Two samples from a possible human coprolite sample, collected as organic fill under a sleeping platform in House 7, were examined for pollen, phytolith, parasites, and starch. These analyses will be used to provide information regarding the subsistence patterns of the early...
MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND STARCH REMOVED FROM POVERTY POINT OBJECTS, POVERTY POINT, LOUISIANA (2001)
Poverty Point Objects are "hand-molded backed clay cooking objects" (Gibson 1999:2). Because the area around Poverty Point contained few rocks, Poverty Point Objects are thought to have been used much like rocks that are heated and used to heat or boil foods in a container. Thirteen Poverty Point Objects and one steatite fragment were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and starches that might point to foods cooked using Poverty Point Objects as heat sources. In addition, two pollen samples...
