PHYTOLITH AND STARCH ANALYSIS FOR SAMPLES FROM SITES FB 19357, FB 19326, AND FB 19022, FORT BLISS, TEXAS

Author(s): Chad Yost

Year: 2011

Summary

Five soil samples were submitted for phytolith and starch grain analysis from three sites located within the Fort Bliss Military Reservation. All of these samples are associated with possible thermal features that may have been utilized for subsistence related activities. The goal of these analyses was to identify any plant phytolith and starch remains that may have been derived from foods prepared using these features. Phytolith analysis was performed to provide some paleoenvironmental information, as well.
