POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE TALEGA SITE (CA-ORA-907), EASTERN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; R.A. Varney

Year: 2004

Summary

Fifteen manos and metates from the Talega Site (CA-ORA-907) were submitted for

pollen or phytolith analysis. This multi-occupation, habitation site yielded radiocarbon ages that

ranged in age from 500 to at least 9,620 BP, while dates from the third pedostratigraphic unit

ranged from cal BP 4370-3800. Older features from the fifth pedostratigraphic unit are

estimated to range in age from 6,000 to 8,000 years old (Personal communication, Michael

Tuma, July 27, 2004). Seven of these groundstone tools were selected for pollen and starch

analysis, while the remaining eight were examined for phytoliths.
