Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Rosa Maria Albert
Year: 1994
Summary
Washes from three mortars associated with burials and from two isolated
mortars at Site CA-SCL-732 near San Jose, California, were examined for pollen,
phytoliths, and protein residues. This site is a cemetery with numerous burials.
Radiocarbon dates range from 4370 + 90 to 230 + 60 BP, with the majority of dates
ranging from 2340 + 80 to 1770 + 90 BP. Pollen and phytolith analyses were
conducted on washes from these mortars to determine types of plants ground, while
protein residue analysis was used to detect the presence of animal proteins.
