PHYTOLITH AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF FEATURE FILL SAMPLES FROM THE PINTO SITE (48CR10382), CARBON COUNTY, WYOMING

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2015

Summary

The Pinto site (48CR10382) is located in the eastern portion of the Washakie Basin in Carbon County, south central Wyoming. Excavations have exposed thermal basins, a housepit feature, and associated artifacts at this multi-occupational hunter-gatherer site. Two components identified at the site produced radiocarbon dates between 4810–5100 BP (Component I) and 5510–5540 BP (Component II) (Susan Murray, personal communication December 3, 2014). Fill from four pit features were submitted for phytolith and starch analysis in search of evidence of economic activity.
