Ashes, the mineral residues of wood combustion, contain siliceous particles that can be preserved for long periods in archaeological sediments. Phytoliths can thus be useful indicators of combustion activities whose biodegradable or soluble remains have disappeared.In this paper, an experimental evaluation of the potential of phytoliths for the ...

Nuevo sistema de análisis descriptivo para fitolitos de sílice [PDF]
El objetivo de este trabajo es el de proponer un nuevo sistema de análisis descriptivo de fitolitos de sílice. Anteriormente se habían realizado otros sistemas de análisis descriptivos para este tipo de fitolitos, especialmente en Estados Unidos.
