DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Curtis Nepstad-Thornberry.

A fiber recovered from a sealed floor context at site 5MN4253A was submitted for analysis. The pitstructure burned upon abandonment. A maize cob sent for radiocarbon dating yielded dates ranging from 112 BC to AD 79. Analysis of the fibers embedded in small quantities of probable floor matrix might assist archaeological interpretations regarding prehistoric use of textiles and the plants used in the creation of woven fabrics.
