PHYTOLITH MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF A ZEA MAYS COB FROM SITE 42DA2026, DAGGETT COUNTY, UTAH

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2017

Summary

Site 42DA2026 consists of a few storage features built in a rock fall under a rock shelter above the Green River in Daggett County, Utah. An uncharred corn cob recovered from the wall near the top of Feature 2 was submitted for AMS radiocarbon age determination to ascertain the period of use. Additionally, examination of the morphometric phytolith signature and comparison with other cob signatures was requested for this cob.
