POLLEN AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF A METATE FROM 34HP138

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Thomas E. Moutoux

Year: 2003

Summary

A metate was recovered from Feature 1, a large storage pit that yielded a calibrated

radiocarbon age of AD 1400-1450 on corn from the fill. This Late Plains Village or early

Protohistoric site is located in a dune field between the Cimarron and Beaver River drainages in

western Oklahoma. The grinding surface of the metate was washed to recover pollen evidence

of foods that might have been ground.
