MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS (PHYTOLITH AND COB MEASUREMENTS) OF A CORN COB FROM A FREMONT GRANARY AT 5MF2723, WESTERN COLORADO

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2001

Summary

An uncharred corn cob from 5MF2723 in western Colorado was submitted for phytolith

analysis. Measurements were taken prior to analysis and a portion of the cob was submitted for

radiocarbon analysis. This cob is associated with a slab-lined cist (granary) located inside a small

opening in the rocks above the Green River in the Gates of LaDore Canyon. This cob yielded an

uncalibrated radiocarbon age of 700 ± 30 years BP (CAMS-79943), indicating a Fremont

occupation. Phytolith analysis produced measurements of approximately 70 phytoliths and average

values for many parameters.
