POLLEN AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF A METATE FROM 34HP138 (2003)
DOCUMENT
Full-Text
A metate was recovered from Feature 1, a large storage pit that yielded a calibrated radiocarbon age of AD 1400-1450 on corn from the fill. This Late Plains Village or early Protohistoric site is located in a dune field between the Cimarron and Beaver River drainages in western Oklahoma. The grinding surface of the metate was washed to recover pollen evidence of foods that might have been ground.
