Auto-Fluorescence in Phytoliths—A Mechanistic Understanding Derived From Microscopic and Spectroscopic Analyses

The detection of auto-fluorescence in phytogenic, hydrated amorphous silica depositions (phytoliths) has been found to be a promising approach to verify if phytoliths were burnt or not, especially in archaeological contexts. However, it is unknown so far at what temperature and how auto-fluorescence...
