PLoS ONEPhytoliths of biogenic silica play a vital role in the silicon biogeochemical cycle and occlude a fraction of organic carbon. The location, chemical speciation, and quantification of this carbon within phytoliths have remained elusive due to limited ...

Palethnologie, 2010 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 ...

, 1993 Variation between phytoliths produced in the laminae, inflorescence bracts, and culms of einkorn (Triticum monococcum L.) were examined. Variation in the type of phytoliths produced and in the morphometries of the various types produced was evaluated ...

Past plant use in Jordan as revealed by archaeological and ethnoarchaeological phytolith signatures [PDF]
, 2011 Ninety-six phytolith samples were analysed from seven archaeological sites ranging from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic to the Classical period and from two ethnoarchaeological sites in Jordan.

Phytoliths and their applications
, 2014 Phytoliths are biomineralizations present in cell walls and/or inter or intracellular spaces of plant tissues. Although the term "phytolith" refers to different amorphous and/or mineral deposits compounded by different elements, such as calcium or silicon, this book focuses on amorphous biogenic silica (SiO2.nH2O), also known as opal phytoliths, silica

Do silica phytoliths really wear mammalian teeth?
Journal of Archaeological Science, 2007 C1 - Journal Articles RefereedThere is considerable literature suggesting that silica (opal) phytoliths cause dental enamel microwear in mammals. Much of this literature cites a single study from 1959 as evidence that silica phytoliths are harder than ...

Raman, infrared and XPS study of bamboo phytoliths after chemical digestion
Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2011 Raman, infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies have been used to examine the effect of various chemical digestion methods on the composition of bamboo phytoliths. Intact bilobate phytoliths, suitable for interrogation by Raman microprobe analysis,
