POLLEN, STARCH, AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF TWO MANOS FROM 5GA9, NORTH-CENTRAL COLORADO (2006)
Two manos from site 5GA9, an Early and Middle Archaic site in Grand County, Colorado were tested for evidence of pollen, starch, and phytoliths. This site is a large, open lithic scatter spread across the top of a terrace on the east side of the Blue River near the eastern foot of San Toy Mountain. These two manos were examined to provide information concerning plants that might have been ground using these tools.
