“…Archaeologists developed a rapid heavy-liquid flotation method for separating phytoliths from soil for the purpose of identifying plant community compositions in the archaeological record (Cabanes, 2020;Katz et al, 2010). The practical innovation here was to modify and repurpose F I G U R E 2 Rank order differences in the total amount of exogenous and endogenous faecal siliceous particulate matter (SPM) in our sample of six ungulate species (a).…”

“…The colorimetric method of Kolesnikov and Abaturov (1997) differentiated siliceous particles, but their protocol, like those that preceded it, required specialized instrumentation and/or many analytical steps involving hazardous chemicals. More recently, Katz et al (2010) described a simplified method that relies on heavy‐liquid flotation to rapidly isolate plant phytoliths from soil matrices for the purpose of identifying plant species in antiquity (review: Cabanes, 2020). If this method can be modified and repurposed to separate phytoliths (specific gravity range: 1.5–2.3; Piperno, 2006) from quartz (specific gravity range: 2.51–2.65; Götze, 2009) in biological samples, then it would hold promise for informing debate on the evolution of silica–animal ecological interactions.…”

“…Phytoliths are silica formations, occurring in some plant cells. Moreover, they are found inside dental calculus, organic residues on pottery or flints, inside pottery and daub, and also on surfaces of flints and stones (Cabanes, 2020). Phytolith analyses make it possible to study ancient diet, plant domestication, and crop processing, and applies to non-dietary uses of plants such as for fuel, determination of the spatial arrangements of plant use at archaeological sites, and the identification of ancient field systems (Ryan, 2014).…”

“…Фитолиты темного цвета часто встречаются в палеопочвах и археологических отложениях. Некоторые исследователи считают, что потемневшие фитолиты свидетельствуют об истории пожаров, в то время как другие предполагают альтернативные причины их возникновения [7]. Комплекс пробы 228/18-2 -пласта, залегающего на глубине 7,5 м, содержит высокий процент окрашенных фитолитов (рис.…”
