对来自狗尾草属7个种和黍属2个种种子的31个现代谷子样品的淀粉粒进行了分析，以确定诊断性形态特征。从华北平原磁山遗址（10.0-7.6 cal yr BP）出土的糜子（Panicum miliaceum）样品中回收的古代淀粉粒进行了相同的分析，以确定现代和古代样品之间的形态差异。这些数据表明，形态特征，特别是表面和裂缝的功能，将允许古小米淀粉的固体识别，而大小类将是有帮助的，但不会是可靠的分类指标。
Starch grains from 31 modern samples of millets derived from the seeds of 7 species within the genus Setaria and 2 species within the genus Panicum were analyzed to determine diagnostic morphological characteristics. Ancient starch grains recovered from a sample of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) excavated from the Cishan site (10.0–7.6 cal yr BP) in the North China Plain were then subjected to the same analyses to determine the differences in morphologies, if any, between modern and ancient samples. The data indicate that morphological features, and particularly surface and fissure features, will allow for solid identifications of ancient millet starches, while size classes will be helpful, but will not be dependable taxonomic indicators.
