ANALYSIS OF A CERAMIC VESSEL RECOVERED FROM CA-SDI-11,198, CALIFORNIA

Summary

A ceramic vessel was found cached in a rock pile in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park

during the post-Cedar Fire Trail Survey. The vessel survived the intense wildfire and,

undoubtedly, was effected by it. Full analysis of the vessel was undertaken as vessel washes

to recover any pollen, starch, and/or phytolith evidence of the vessels’s contents. In addition,

identification of botanic items in the fill was undertaken to aid in identifying what might represent

original vessel contents and what might be present through later introduction as the vessel lay

wedged in its cached position.
