ABSTRACT
This chapter covers the analysis of flotation and in situ-recovered charred botanical materials from the Tutu site. Two major periods of site occupation are recognized: the Cedrosan Saladoid (early period, between c. AD 65 and AD 950) and the Chican Ostionoid (late period, between c. AD 1200 and AD 1500). For purposes of analyzing the botanical remains from the site, proveniences are assigned to either the early or the late period (if association with dated levels and units was clear) or are placed in a third, undated group. Results are discussed on a site-wide basis (i.e., with no division by time).
