POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF CIRCULAR EARTHWORK SAMPLES FROM THE FORT CENTER SITE, 8GL13, GLADES COUNTY, FLORIDA (2011)
Fort Center, located in Glades County, Florida, provides evidence of Late Archaic; Early, Middle, and Late Woodland, Belle Glades, Calusa, Protohistoric, Seminole, and finally 19th and 20th century occupations. Thus, occupation at this 2.5 square km earthwork site dates between 800 BC and at least the late 1800s (Victor Thompson, personal communication, September 2010). Earlier work at this site included pollen analysis that reported consistent finds of Zea mays pollen. Verification or denial of...
POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR HB2, HOLOTUNICH, BELIZE (2006)
Holotunich, an historical site in Belize, was occupied in the late 19th to early 20th century. The San Pedro Maya, who were Caste War refuges, occupied the site between the 1860s and the 1890s. During the early 20th century, this site functioned as a British logging camp from approximately 1920 to 1945. Archival data indicates that the Maya engaged in agriculture and also occasionally worked in the logging camps. Phytolith analysis was undertaken to identify evidence of plants and search...

In addition, individual samples...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND PARASITE ANALYSIS OF PRIVY DEPOSITS FROM OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA (1997)
A privy was excavated and sampled for pollen, phytoliths, and parasite eggs. Use of the privy may date between 1865 and 1891-1896.

Levels 3 and 6 date from the 1870s and 1880s, while level 8 represents the Civil War period. Pollen and phytolith analysis was undertaken to identify foods consumed and/or discarded in the privy. Parasite eggs were...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE (CIEP) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE BLACK HANK SITE (24RB2339), ROSEBUD COUNTY, MONTANA (2016)
The Black Hank Site (24RB2339) consists of a large prehistoric camp along with minimal historic remains in the vicinity of possible foundation stones. The site occupies an irregular area spanning a high terrace and low bench southwest of the confluence of an unnamed ephemeral stream and Black Hank Creek in Rosebud County, Montana. Prehistoric cultural materials at the site include lithics, scattered pieces of oxidized sandstone, and possible fire cracked rock (FCR). Brown glass and a .22 short...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE COMMON CUT ROCKSHELTER, CA-030-2147, SISKIYOU COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2018)
Site CA-030-2147 is a small rockshelter situated in the foothills of the Klamath Mountains near the town of Hornbrook in Siskiyou County, California. The rockshelter was occupied between the late prehistoric and early historic period. A sample collected from the shelter was submitted for pollen, phytolith, and starch analysis to identify evidence of local vegetation and possibly use. In addition, a “pinch” sample was collected in the vicinity of the shelter to provide control for the pollen...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM THE CHARLES TOWNE LANDING STATE HISTORICAL SITE, (38CH1-PSTS), SOUTH CAROLINA (2007)
Ten samples from the historic Charles Towne Landing site (38CH1-PSTS) were analyzed for archaeobotanical remains. Samples from three possible planting features, a possible agricultural trench, a floor or processing area, and four possible postholes were examined for pollen, phytoliths, macrofloral remains, and/or using Fourier Transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The results of these analyses should provide information useful to interpreting the origin and function of these features...
