Three ceramic sherds with visible charred residue were submitted for phytolith, starch, and AMS radiocarbon dating analyses. These items were recovered from site 8BY1347, a shell midden site located on the Tyndall Air Force Base near Panama City, Florida. These analyses are used to determine the age of the artifacts and to identify some of the foods that might have been cooked or stored using the vessels represented by these sherds.
