POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF TWO GROUNDSTONE RESIDUE WASHES FROM SANTA SYLVIA, CHILE

Author(s): Chad Yost; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2011

Summary

Two groundstone tools from Santa Sylvia, Chile, were washed to recover pollen, phytoliths, and starch. The washes were conducted in Chile and the resulting residue was dried and sent to PaleoResearch Institute for analysis. The goal of the analysis was to identify pollen, plant opal phytoliths, and starch grains that may be derived from plant material processed with these tools.
