POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF FEATURE FILL AND STRATIGRAPHIC SAMPLES FROM SITE 33DL2228, DELAWARE COUNTY, OHIO.

Summary

Site 33DL228 is a multi-component (prehistoric and historical) site located in Delaware

County, Ohio. The site was originally documented during Phase I survey of a pipeline corridor.

Located on a terrace west of the Scioto River, it flanks an unnamed intermittent stream and is

situated within an agricultural field used to grow alfalfa, corn, and soybeans. The goal of the

pollen and phytolith analysis is to establish a picture of the paleoenvironment, especially with

regard to forest clearing and large-scale cultivation, as well as to gain a better understanding of

plant subsistence. Analysis of the features was undertaken to search for evidence of non-seedy

portions of the subsistence base such as root crops.
