• Diversity of cultivars and other plant resources used at habitation sites in the Llanos de Mojos, Beni, Bolivia: evidence from macrobotanical remains, starch grains, and phytoliths (2012, methodology): “Artifacts were processed to recover starch grains and phytoliths, and bulk sediment samples were processed to recover phytoliths, based on standard protocols (Loy, 1994; Pearsall, 2000; Pearsall et al., 2004; Piperno, 1988, 2006; Piperno and Holst, 1998; Torrence and Barton, 2006; Zarrillo et al., 2”
• Changes in starch grain morphologies from cooking (2009, unknown): “Plants may produce these starches in almost every tissue, but they are particularly abundant in tissueswhere long term energy storage is needed, such as in fruits, seeds and underground storage organs (Torrence and Barton, 2006).”
• Evaluating microfossil content of dental calculus from Brazilian sambaquis (2010, methodology): “These observations are consistent with partial gelatinization of the starch (Torrence and Barton, 2006).”
