POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLlTH, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF RESIDUE AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF BASKETRY MATERIAL FROM THE PECTOL COLLECTION, UTAH

Surface scrapings from the interior of a Fremont grayware cooking vessel were examined for pollen, starches, and phytoliths in an effort to determine the food or foods cooked. In addition, two residue samples were collected and examined from the interior of a large parching tray. Structural elements of this parching tray also were identified. These samples are part of the Pectol Collection consisting of Formative (Fremont) and Late Prehistoric artifacts that were collected by a private collector in Wayne County, Utah, during the 1930s.研究人员对一件弗里蒙特灰陶（Fremont grayware）烹饪容器内部的表面刮取物开展了花粉、淀粉粒与植硅体（phytoliths）分析，以期推断其曾烹制的食物种类。此外，研究人员还从一件大型焙烘盘的内部采集并分析了两份残留物样本。研究人员同时还识别出了该焙烘盘的结构构件。上述样本均隶属于佩克托藏品（Pectol Collection），该藏品涵盖形成期（弗里蒙特）与晚史前时期的考古遗物，由一位私人收藏家于20世纪30年代在犹他州韦恩县收集所得。
