As part of the Phytoliths in the Flora of Ecuador Project (PFE) (Pearsall 2016), phytolith assemblages from 82 surface soil samples from four distinctive vegetation formations, xerophytic coastal forest (Chanduy valley), mixed deciduous/evergreen forest (Jama region), coastal evergreen forest (Bilsa Biological Reserve), and Amazonian lowland forest (Jatun Sacha Biological Reserve) were studied, with the goal of establishing phytolith vegetation signatures to facilitate archaeological and...

Phytoliths in the Flora of Ecuador Project
The Phytoliths in the Flora of Ecuador project was undertaken by Deborah M. Pearsall and colleagues from 1997 to 2008, with periodic work through 2012, to establish diagnostic phytolith types and phytolith vegetation signatures to enhance archaeological and paleoenvironmental phytolith applications in coastal and Amazonian Ecuador. Research was conducted in Ecuador and at the University of Missouri (MU) Paleoethnobotany Laboratory. Outcomes or products of the project include: descriptions and...
