An overview of techniques applied to the extraction of Non-Pollen Palynomorphs, their known taphonomic issues, and recommendations to maximise recovery

This chapter synthesises the most common processing techniques applied to palynomorphs and their known issues. We primarily focus on NPPs, but include studies on pollen grains where the information might be relevant. An overview of recent (2017-2019) NPP publications is used to connect the most common techniques to known taphonomic issues. Finally, general recommendations are made to minimise processing bias and maximise NPP recovery
