POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF STRATIGRAPHIC CORE SAMPLES FROM THE CAYO DEL OSO SITE (41NU2), CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost; R.A. Varney

Summary
Pollen and phytolith analysis was conducted on three stratigraphic core samples from
the Cayo Del Oso site (41NU2). The site is located along the northwestern shore of Oso Bay,
Corpus Christi, Texas. Previous excavations have indicated that the site was a prehistoric
campsite and cemetery. Radiocarbon dates from the test units and the burial ranged from 4400
BP to 1300 BP. Core samples submitted for analysis were derived from pond sediments (core
2) and dune deposits (cores 4 and 6). Pollen and phytolith analysis of these samples was
undertaken to provide paleoenvironmental reconstruction data for the Oso Bay Site and coastal
South Texas.
