MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS (PHYTOLITH AND COB MEASUREMENTS) OF A CORN COB FROM A FREMONT GRANARY AT 5MF2723, WESTERN COLORADO
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2001
Summary
An uncharred corn cob from 5MF2723 in western Colorado was submitted for phytolith
analysis. Measurements were taken prior to analysis and a portion of the cob was submitted for
radiocarbon analysis. This cob is associated with a slab-lined cist (granary) located inside a small
opening in the rocks above the Green River in the Gates of LaDore Canyon. This cob yielded an
uncalibrated radiocarbon age of 700 ± 30 years BP (CAMS-79943), indicating a Fremont
occupation. Phytolith analysis produced measurements of approximately 70 phytoliths and average
values for many parameters.
