Starch Recovery on Ceramic and Metal Artifacts at the Morne Patate Archaeology Site, Dominica
This study presents a novel method for recovering starch residues from metal artifacts in Morne Patate, Dominica. Adapting starch recovery methodologies developed for obsidian flakes and ceramic vessels. This study is the first in the colonial Caribbean to extract and identify starch residues—specifically cf. Capsicum sp.—from copper cassava graters, thereby piloting that non-porous, corroded metal tools may preserve microbotanical evidence. The …
