硅质骨架（表皮组织的化石切片）是近东考古沉积物中常见的成分。秆（稻草）和壳（谷物苞片）产生不同的细胞模式，允许确定植物部分;这反过来又提供了有关活动区域使用的信息。分类群的鉴定仍然是初步的，数据是小麦，大麦，椰枣，和三个属的杂草。小麦、大麦和枣椰的独特解剖学特征尚未与所有可能的野生混淆品进行比较。然而，在黎凡特考古遗址，这些cultigens强有力的建议可以提出植硅石证据的基础上。
Silica skeletons (fossilized sections of epidermal tissue) are frequent components in Near Eastern archaeological sediments. Culm (straw) and husks (grain bracts) produce different cell patterns that allow determination of plant part; this in turn provides information about use of activity areas. Identification of taxa is still preliminary; data is presented for wheat, barley, date palm, and three genera of weedy grasses. The distinctive anatomical characteristics of wheat, barley and date palm have not yet been compared to all possible wild confusers. However, within Levantine archaeological sites, strong suggestions of these cultigens can be proposed based on phytolith evidence.
