POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SHERD RESIDUE FROM THE TRAPPER CLIFF SHELTER (10CA20), IDAHO

Two sherds that exhibited visible, charred residue were sampled for microscopic
remains that included pollen, starch, and phytoliths and a chemical signature that might inform
concerning the foods that were cooked in the vessel that it represented. These sherds were
part of a reconstructable vessel. Trapper Cliff Shelter is located in south central Cassia County
in south central Idaho. The sherds were recovered from an undisturbed context within the
shelter.

两件带有可见炭化残留物的陶片被取样，以分析其中包含的花粉、淀粉粒与植硅体（phytoliths）等微观遗存，以及可用于揭示该器物所代表的容器曾烹制食物相关信息的化学特征。这批陶片属于一件可复原的容器。特拉普崖庇护所（Trapper Cliff Shelter）坐落于爱达荷州南部中部的卡夏县（Cassia County）中南部，上述陶片出土自该庇护所内一处未受扰动的埋藏背景。
