POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM THE CHARLES TOWNE LANDING STATE HISTORICAL SITE, (38CH1-PSTS), SOUTH CAROLINA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost; Kathryn Puseman; Davis V. Hill

Year: 2007

Summary

Ten samples from the historic Charles Towne Landing site (38CH1-PSTS) were

analyzed for archaeobotanical remains. Samples from three possible planting features, a

possible agricultural trench, a floor or processing area, and four possible postholes were

examined for pollen, phytoliths, macrofloral remains, and/or using Fourier Transform infrared

spectrometry (FTIR). The results of these analyses should provide information useful to

interpreting the origin and function of these features associated with historic Charles Towne

Landing.
