POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF TWO FIRED COOKING CLAY ARTIFACTS, 45WH34, WASHINGTON
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; R.A. Varney; Jaime Dexter
Year: 2006
Summary
Two possible fired cooking clay artifacts and a soil control sample from site 45WH34 in
western Washington were examined for pollen, phytoliths, and starches. The site was
excavated in 1972 by Garland F. Grabert and has been associated with multiple components
ranging from 1030 BP to 4700 BP, indicating occupation persisted through the early St. Mungo
(4500-3500 BP) culture phase. The clay artifacts were washed to recover pollen, phytoliths
and/or starches that would aid in identifying foods cooked using the vessels.
