PHYTOLITHIC ANALYSIS OF NEOLITHIC AND EARLY BRONZE AGE POTTERY FROM KOREA

Summary

Five pieces of Korean pottery were examined for evidence of opal

phytoliths that would indicate the presence of domesticated grasses. All of

the samples contained phytoliths. In addition, two sherds yielded diatoms,

and two contained carbonized plant fibers. The observed phytoliths were low

in frequency and consisted of Festucoid, Panicoid, and Elongate types.
