Starch Taphonomy is the systematic study of the post-depositional processes affecting starch grains from the time of deposition to recovery, distinguishing it from broader taphonomic analyses by focusing specifically on the diagenetic, chemical, and physical alterations influencing starch preservation in archaeological and paleoenvironmental contexts.
