PHYTOLITH AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF TARTAR FROM THREE MAMMOTH TEETH FROM THE DENT SITE IN COLORADO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Rosa Maria Albert
Year: 1995
Summary
Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) teeth excavated from the Dent Site (5WL269) in
1932 and 1933 by the Denver Museum of Natural History were examined for
phytoliths. All teeth had been "stabilized" with varnish, which was removed
prior to recovering tartar that was dissolved to examine the phytolith record.
One lower mammoth mandible containing two teeth and two separate mammoth teeth provided the tartar examined.
