PHYTOLITH AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE AEOLUS SITE (LA 49405), LEA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO

The Aeolus site, located in southeastern New Mexico, was an ephemeral camp site associated with the Eastern Jornada Mogollon. Two sediment samples, collected in 1985 from the fill of a possible hearth feature and from a cultural level nearby, were submitted for starch and phytolith analysis to contribute information concerning economic activity at the hearth.

埃俄洛斯遗址（Aeolus site）坐落于美国新墨西哥州东南部，是一处与东霍尔多隆文化（Eastern Jornada Mogollon）相关的临时营地遗址。1985年，研究人员从一处疑似火塘遗迹的填充物及邻近的文化层中采集了两份沉积物样本，将其提交用于淀粉粒与植硅体分析，以期为解析该火塘相关的生业经济活动提供实证信息。
