Unit 103 is a room located in the northwestern area of Phyllis Pueblo. The unit was encountered beneath a later occupation (Units 101 and 102). Unit 103 was built on the northwest side of Phyllis Pueblo, upon a surface that has a slight downwards slope to the southwest.

Unit 201 is located in pueblo room at Phyllis Pueblo (LA45160). The site is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwest New Mexico. Based on extant ceramics and other temporally diagnostic artifacts (Floor Znd subsurface), the immediate area appears to have hosted occupations between the late seventh and early twenty-first centuries. This time frame includes the Late Postclassic period (ca. A.D. 1300-1450), a primary focus of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 202 is located in the east-central portion of the site, where deposits appear to be highest and prehistoric architecture is partially overlain by an historic structure. The unit contains at least four separate occupations (Z, A, B, and C), with Z being the lowest (i.e., earliest) and C being the highest (i.e., latest). Each has a distinct floor and, ostensibly,...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 202 is located in the east-central portion of the site and was first excavated in 2009. An unexpected number of superimposed floors and corresponding walls were encountered. Excavation resumed the following year in order to better understand the relationship between these walls, floors, and associated artifacts. Within and adjacent to Unit 202, we encountered...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 204 was identified in 2009 during excavations in the adjacent room of Unit 202. The former is immediately east of the latter and they appear to have shared a common wall throughout most, if not all, occupations. In 2010, additional excavation was undertaken in the southern section of Phyllis Pueblo. This continued research was designed to answer questions about...

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).

Seventy-six plant samples and forty sediment samples from voyageurs National Park were analyzed for phytoliths. Leaf, stem, root, inflorescence, and where possible, seed phytoliths were extracted from each plant sample as a key against which sediment phytoliths could be compared. All phytoliths were examined by light microscopy using a research petrographic microscope equipped with a Nomarski Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) system. Some phytoliths were also studied using a Scanning...

Pollen and phytolith analysis of four samples collected from four individual trenches in the Maroon Cliffs special management area was undertaken to provide information concerning whether or not these areas were playas in the past. In addition, these analyses were conducted to assess the paleoenvironment in the vicinity of Late Formative prehistoric sites near Carlsbad, New Mexico.

A total of ten sediment samples were submitted for phytolith analysis from the Sentinel Gap site (45KT1362), located in Kittitas County, south-central Washington. Previously, a preliminary study was conducted by PaleoResearch to test the potential for pollen and phytolith recovery from site 45KT1362 (PRI Technical Report 07-114). The data from the two preliminary phytolith and pollen samples and the ten new phytolith samples were combined and are presented together in this report. Eight of the...

Four pit feature fill samples were submitted for pollen and phytolith analysis from Block D at the Kolomoki Mounds site (9ER1) located in southwestern Georgia. These features date to approximately A.D. 550 to 750 (Late Woodland). The goal of the analysis is to determine if maize was being utilized by the site occupants.

Four stratigraphic column samples from an Amerindian village located on the island of Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles, were submitted for phytolith analysis. Evidence for the earliest phase of occupation at Moulin à Eau village site dates to c. AD 700 - 800 and the latest phase dates to c. AD 1200. Currently, it is unknown whether there was either a hiatus or continuous occupation of the site until colonial settlement. Christopher Columbus was the first European to reach Guadeloupe in...

Located along a creek in Castro Valley, CA-ALA-566 exhibits evidence of prehistoric occupation between approximately 1150 and 1050 BP. It contains extensive fire-affected rock features and associated light artifact density. A single fire-affected rock was selected and submitted for phytolith and starch analysis in an effort to find evidence of food processing involving these features. A chert core tool was examined for starch and a small mortar was washed at Garcia and Associates to recover...

A rock ring midden site, LA 178961, is situated on a small bench overlooking Boyds Canyon and Spring Draw, within the foothills west of Carlsbad in Eddy County, New Mexico. Three of four deflated ring middens noted at this site have been impacted by a two track road and rancher water line (Rebecca Hill, personal communication July 8, 2014). Three soil samples, collected from two different features, were submitted for phytolith, starch, and macrofloral analysis. Although pollen analysis was not...

Fill samples from thermal features at sites LA 160727, LA 160739, and LA 160741 in southeast New Mexico were examined for phytoliths and macrofloral remains. A single sample from the thermal feature at LA 160727 also was analyzed for pollen. In addition, fire-cracked rocks from the features were tested for the presence of organic residues, especially lipids, using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Radiocarbon dates suggest that LA 160727 represents a Late Archaic/Early Mogollon...

Phytolith, macrofloral, and protein residue samples collected from ceramic sherds were examined from Woodland, Late Woodland, and Historic period occupations for the Route 29 Project in Trenton, New Jersey. Phytolith, macrofloral, and/or protein residue samples were collected from the following three major areas: the Rosey Hill Mansion Site [28ME107], which is an historic site contained within the Riverview Executive Park Archaeological Complex, the Water's Edge Archaeological Complex...

Seven springs in the northern Kawich Range were investigated to determine whether Holocene volcanic ash layers exist in alluvial deposits within the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Although no discrete ash layers were visible in the exposures studied, microtephra analysis of sediment samples collected at Rose Spring and Cedar Spring revealed the presence of varying concentrations of ash shards. Radiocarbon dating and stratigraphic relationships suggest that both Mono-Inyo Craters and...
