POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, CHARCOAL, AND FIBER ANALYSIS AT CA-IMP-6427, CALIFORNIA

Summary

Six paired pollen and phytolith samples, as well as a charcoal sample and several fiber

and bark samples, were examined from the Elmore Site (CA-IMP-6427) in the Imperial Valley

of California. Pollen and phytolith analysis was undertaken to identify plants used by occupants

of this site. Charcoal and fibers were recovered from a clothes-burning ceremonial pit

associated with a burial. Identification of these remains contributed to identification of clothes

and items burned in the ceremonial clothes-burning pit and the wood used as fuel.
