Sampling for phytolith analysis, was restricted to 2 of the sites. Most of the project is located on the T2, a Holocene terrace, of the Santa Cruz...
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF EIGHT SEDIMENT SAMPLES FROM THE F2413 FIELD SYSTEM, SITE AZ T:12:206(ASM), MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA (2019)
Site AZ T:12:206(ASM), formerly AZ T:12:54(ASU), represents agricultural field cells, lateral canals, and an artifact scatter on an alluvial terrace above the north bank of the Salt River in Maricopa County, Arizona. Given its proximity, Site AZ T:12:206 may be an extension of the previously recorded village Site AZ T:12:52(ASM). During Phase II data recovery of the site, WestLand Resources, Inc. revealed prehistoric lateral canals (running more-or-less parallel to the Salt River) in association...
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF FILL FROM SITE 40LD221, MATLOCK BEND, TENNESSEE (2010)
Sediment samples from two pit features were submitted for phytolith analysis from site 40LD221, located in Loudon County, Tennessee. These are Woodland period features that appear to have been used as storage pits. Phytolith analysis was undertaken to better understand the function of these features and their contents.
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC GARDEN SOIL SAMPLES FROM THE WEIR FARM NHS, WILTON, CONNECTICUT (2010)
Four soil samples were submitted for phytolith analysis from the Weir Farm NHS property, located in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The goal of the analysis was to recover and identify plant opal phytoliths derived from some of the plants that may have been grown within the historic garden area that is currently a terraced lawn west of the Weir House (Area 1).
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 45CL435, CLARK COUNTY, WASHINGTON (2011)
Six flaked cobble tools from site 45CL435, located in Clark County, Washington, were submitted for phytolith analysis. It is thought that these tools may have been used to process wood, possibly Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana). This is a preliminary investigation to see if phytolith analysis can be used to better understand the function of these tools.
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT FROM THE BULL CREEK III SITE, BEAVER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, AND ADDITIONAL ARCHAEOCLIMATE MODELS FOR BEAVER, OKLAHOMA (2010)
The Bull Creek III site is situated in a short grass prairie biome along side the Bull Creek in the High Plains physiographic region of western Beaver County, Oklahoma. Although the location has not been reported as a cultural site, three sediment samples were submitted for phytolith analysis. The goal of the analysis was to provide greater clarity on the types of grasses on this landscape between 12,550 and 13,210 RCYBP.
PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SOIL SAMPLES FROM SITE CEEU-4, FORT CARTIER-ROBERVAL, QUEBEC, CANADA (2010)
Site CEEU-4 is bordered by the Cap Rouge and St. Lawrence Rivers to the west, and is approximately 15 kilometers west of Québec City, Canada. The site is a 16th Century settlement know today as Fort Cartier-Roberval. Samples were collected by site CEEU-4 researchers and submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for phytolith analysis. The goal of the analysis was to recover and identify diagnostic phytoliths that could aid in identifying subsistence practices by the site occupants. Phytolith analysis...
