Abstract: The author presents a combined procedure for recovering phytoliths and starch residues from soils, sedimentary deposits and similar materials. It is intended to be reliable, simple and time efficient, and is outlined in detail and summary as a practical, step-by-step method. The author argues that it has been carried out on many types of soils and other deposits, including clays, silts and sands; waterlogged, porous, peaty, volcanic and coralline soils; and sediment cores and coprolites from a range of environmental settings in both tropical and temperate climates. Mounting phytoliths and starch residues on slides for microscopy is included.
