PHYTOLITH, STARCH, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR), CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 21OT191, GLENDALOUGH STATE PARK, MINNESOTA

A piece of fire-cracked rock (FCR) from a pit feature at site 21OT191 in central Minnesota was submitted for phytolith, starch, and organic residue (FTIR) analyses. One fragment of charcoal from the same feature was submitted for identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. These analyses are used to identify plant and animal resources that might have been utilized by the site occupants and to determine the age of the pit feature.
