Fig 11
Examples of phytolith morphotypes extracted from sediment samples from KDK1 Middle Neolithic grave fills.
(A) Bulliform flabellate phytolith extracted from sediment adhering to individual SK 42; (B–F) Phytoliths extracted from sediment adhering to individual SK 55, (B) Articulated Elongate dentate phytoliths; (C) Articulated Elongate dendritic phytoliths; (D) Articulated Elongate dendritic with attached Interdigitate layer; (E–F) Articulated Elongate dendritic with attached Interdigitate layer and Papillate cells. White arrows in Panel D, E and F indicate Interdigitate phytolith layer attached to Elongate dendritic phytoliths. Scale bar (20 μm) applies to all panels.
