ANALYSIS OF A FIBER FROM A SHALLOW PITSTRUCTURE, 5MN4253A, SOUTHWEST COLORADO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Curtis Nepstad-Thornberry
Year: 2000
Summary
A fiber recovered from a sealed floor context at site 5MN4253A was submitted for
analysis. The pitstructure burned upon abandonment. A maize cob sent for radiocarbon dating
yielded dates ranging from 112 BC to AD 79. Analysis of the fibers embedded in small quantities
of probable floor matrix might assist archaeological interpretations regarding prehistoric use of
textiles and the plants used in the creation of woven fabrics.
