Stratigraphic sediment samples were collected at Ais Giorkis for phytolith analysis. The uppermost sample serves as a modern analog, and radiocarbon ages indicate the profile is intact (Rolfe Mandel, personal communication, January 5, 2018). Phytolith analysis was requested because isotope values show a C3 signature with little variation through time (Rolfe Mandel, personal communication, January 5, 2018). Pollen analysis was recommended by PaleoResearch Institute staff as the better measure of...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS FOR AIS GIORKIS, CYPRUS (2003)
Ais Giorkis, Cyprus, an Aceramic Neolithic site, represents either an early “Cypro-PPNB” or Late Khirokitia culture occupation. Radiocarbon ages on bone cluster around 6800–7000 ca. BC. This important Neolithic site is located in the uplands. Although it does not appear to be a typical village, Ais Giorkis contains only limited cattle remains, which is unusual for Neolithic occupations. Three ground stone implements, which were relatively rare in the artifact assemblage, one stone bowl, and one...
