176-200 (265 Records)
Pollen, starch, phytolith, macrofloral, and protein residue analyses were undertaken on sediment samples from the eastern branch of an historic market in an area known as "Marine Barracks III in Washington, D.C. This portion of the market place was excavated and sampled for botanic remains and animal proteins during December of 2001. A portion of a brick sidewalk was noted along the outside of the market in the northern portion of the East Arm. Each stall appears to be separated from its...
POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, STARCH, PROTEIN RESIDUE AND FTIR ANALYSIS OF A MANO FROM THE PEPPERTREE HEIGHTS PROJECT, CITY OF HELMET, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (2007)

POLLEN, STARCH, AND BLOOD RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE FROM SITES IN LANDER COUNTY, NEVADA (1993)
Groundstone from six sites in central Nevada were examined for pollen, starch granules, and possible blood residues. Pollen and blood residue analyses address subsistence at these sites. Pollen analysis was undertaken on manos, metates, and groundstone fragments, while blood residue analysis was performed only on mortars and pestles. Pollen recovered from the ground surfaces may provide information concerning plants ground using manos and metates. Immunological studies have shown that blood...

POLLEN, STARCH, AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM CERRO JUANAQUERA, MEXICO (2002)
Five combined pollen, starch, and phytolith samples were examined from Cerro Juanaquera, Mexico. Because previous pollen analysis at a different lab had determined that there was insufficient pollen to recommend further analysis, phytolith analysis was requested. Fortunately, this study was able to examine both the pollen and phytolith records. In addition, starches are recovered in pollen samples and are reported when they are present. In large part, this study functions as an examination...
