Identifying crop plants with phytoliths (and starch grains) in Central and South America: A review and an update of the evidence (2009, background): “In addition, extensive comparative studies of rondel and other cob-derived phytoliths are employed to identify maize cob decay (e.g., Pearsall, 2000; Pearsall et al., 2003).”
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): “…is longer than the height of the rondel, b) a top that is a single, complete wave equal to or less than the length of the rondel, without acute or sharply angled edges, and c) lateral ends that are concave (Bozarth, 1993; Mulholland, 1993; Pearsall et al., 2003; Piperno and Pearsall, 1993) (Fig.”
Phytoliths of East African grasses: An assessment of their environmental and taxonomic significance based on floristic data (2009, methodology): “This method requires knowing the phytolith content of a regionally representative plant reference collection, and involves a higher level of morphological discrimination among phytoliths than the previous one (Piperno and Pearsall, 1998; Mindzie et al., 2001; Pearsall et al., 2003; Strömberg et al.,”
