PHYTOLITH, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR), AND ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION (XRF) ANALYSIS ON CERAMIC SAMPLES FROM SITE XALTOCAN OP Z3, NEXTALPAN, MEXICO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2018
Summary
Xaltocan OP Z3, situated on a gentle slope in the former Xaltocan-Zumpanog lake bed, is located in the Nextalpan Municipality, Mexico. The artificially constructed island that comprises this site lies in the middle of Lake Xaltocan and dates to the tenth century AD (Kristin De Lucia, personal communication August 8, 2018). Phytolith, organic residue (FTIR), and elemental composition (XRF) analysis were conducted on twelve ceramics representing bowls, a basin, several comals, and numerous ollas, as well as a single polishing cobble to determine both foods processed and evaluate construction of the ceramics.
