STARCH AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF STONE TOOLS FROM THE SIREN SITE, 41WM1126, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS

Author(s): Chad Yost; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2011

Summary

Nine stone tools, mostly groundstone, were submitted for starch analysis from the Siren Site, 41WM1126, Texas. Because the extraction method produced phytoliths along with the starch, the phytoliths were also examined. The starch grains and phytoliths recovered from the use surfaces of these tools may provide subsistence and tool function information.
