POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT ASSOCIATED WITH A BURIAL FROM SITE 41HY163, SAN MARCOS, TEXAS

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost; R.A. Varney

Year: 2009

Summary

Previous pollen analysis of a sample associated with a burial from site 41HY163 yielded possible evidence of Zea mays pollen. Because the identification was tentative, an additional sample was submitted to Paleo Research Institute for testing. Pollen and phytolith analyses were conducted for the specific purpose of finding any evidence for the presence of Zea mays or to find any suspicious looking remains that might be confused with Zea mays.
