POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF RESIDUE FROM 1110 FRAGMENTARY POTTERY VESSELS

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1990

Summary

Residue scrapings from the insides of two Shoshoni ware pottery vessels

were examined for pollen and phytoliths. Several rim sherds that fit together

(NSM-108) were found near Glenn's Ferry, Idaho. The other residue

scrapings were removed from a whole vessel with a flat bottom and flaring

sides from Silver Creek in central Nevada (NSM-148). Pollen and phytolith

analyses were undertaken in an effort to identify the origin of the residues.

The residue from Idaho (NSM-108) appeared to have been carbonized,

while the residue from Nevada (NSM-148) was partially carbonized.
