“…Phytolith analysis is a method of optical microscopy which has been widely used for enlightening archaeological situations in recent decades (see, e.g. Pearsall, 1982;Rosen, 1995). Phytoliths can be extracted from the soil samples of various contexts and features, as well as from residues found on pottery, stonework and other types of artefacts.…”

“…Research by Pearsall [45] on an extensive reference collection of Panicoid grasses (62 species) native to southwestern Ecuador demonstrated that only five taxa produce large (16.0-20.5 µm) cross shaped phytoliths, and that they were produced in low frequencies. Four varieties of maize, in contrast, produced relatively abundant large and a few extra large crosses (20.6-25.2 µm).…”

“…En una monografía fundamental sobre gramíneas Metcalf (1960) señaló la ubicuidad de los fitolitos en esta familia. Más recientemente otros estudiosos (Bozarth, 1987;Pearsall, 1978;1982;1992a;Piperno, 1988;Rovner, 1971;1983) han señalado que los fitolitos pueden ser producidos por una gran variedad de plantas. Los fitolitos han demostrado poseer en diferentes grados, utilidad taxonómica en la identificación de las especies vegetales de las cuales provienen (Pearsall, 1982;1989;1992a;1992b;Piperno, 1984;1988;Pearsall & Piperno, 1993;Piperno & Pearsall, 1993).…”

“…La técnica desarrollada por Pearsall y Piperno (Pearsall, 1978;1982;Piperno, 1984;1988;Pearsall & Piperno, 1993: 17-18;Piperno & Pearsall, 1993) que comprende el uso de la morfología tridimensional, detecta la presencia de maíz en conjuntos de fitolitos de muestras de sedimentos en sitios arqueológicos (Smith, 1998). La tipología está basada en la identificación de las formas producidas únicamente por el maíz.…”
