出版社：Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas
摘要：This paper is strucured in two parts. The first one offers an introduction to phytolith analysis exploring the characteristics of these particles, the laboratory procedures in use, the current state of research and the informative potential they can offer to archaeology. The second part proposes the basis of a methodological approach for applying this technique to archaeology. This methodology uses historical materialism and is based on the Marxist concept of value, the analysis of the processes of labour and the categorisation of phytolith assemblages based on the selection of vegetal materials.
