The Sundog Site (24LC2289) represents a prehistoric, short-term occupation and is situated on a large bench near the head of Indian Creek adjacent to the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness Area in Helena National Forest, Lewis and Clark County, Montana. Thirteen lithics recovered from the site were selected and submitted for protein residue analysis to identify animals hunted or processed at the site.

Site 8HG1330 (Cara Cara Corner) is located in Highlands County, Florida. Cara Cara Corner is situated west of the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge on an upland surface near the edge of a wet prairie. A possible Archaic-stemmed projectile point was collected from the site and submitted for protein residue (CIEP) analysis.

The Eaton Site is a multicomponent site situated on a knoll overlooking Cazenovia Creek in West Seneca, Erie County, New York. The site was utilized intermittently from late Paleoindian times to the early 19th Century (William Engelbrecht, personal communication, October 31, 2018). The major occupation of the site was an AD 1550 Iroquoian village. Three chert lithics recovered from an Iroquoian longhouse during the 1990 Buffalo State, State University of New York Field School were submitted for...

A total of 15 stone artifacts that included stones from rock-lined pits, plane scrapers and agave knives were submitted for protein residue analysis from several Archaic and Formative period sites located within the Fort Bliss Military Reservation. Previous to this study, burned limestone rocks were submitted to PaleoResearch for organic (FTIR) analysis from these same sites, as well as from a few other sites in the general area (Logan 2010). FTIR analysis was successful in detecting plant...

Forty lithic artifacts from Sites 36C017 and 36C018 along the Susquehanna River in eastern Pennsylvania were submitted for protein residue analysis. Site 36C017 is believed to represent a fish procurement and processing station, with the earliest evidence of use during the Middle Archaic period. The site also experienced intensive use during the Late Archaic and Terminal Archaic periods, with episodic occupations during the Late Woodland period. Initial use of Site 36C018 is believed to have...

A total of 83 lithic artifacts from the Puncheon Run site (7K-C-51) in Dover, Delaware, were submitted for protein residue analysis. Previous studies have shown that protein residues from a tool's surface can be identified using a modified forensic procedure. Site 7K-C-51 contains several discrete activity areas, with diagnostic artifacts datable from Middle Archaic to Late Woodland contexts. Lithic artifacts and soil controls from this site were tested against eight fish antisera and five...

Eight biface tools from the Tie Chute Cache site (LA 163780), located within the Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico, were submitted for protein residue analysis. This analysis was conducted to recover and identify plant and animal residues that provide evidence for the use of these tools.

Site 3MN298 is a multicomponent habitation site located along the Upper Ouachita River near Oden in Montgomery County, Arkansas. Diagnostic artifacts at the site are attributed to the Middle Archaic (circa 6000–5000 B.C.), Woodland (circa 1000–0 B.C.), and Mississippian (circa 1450–1650 A.D.) periods, suggesting multiple occupations. Cultural features included clusters of fire-cracked rock, a large trash-filled pit, and post stains from a Caddo house. Five chipped stone tools and two soil...

Two sites, Route 44 East and Route 169 East, were investigated as part of the Northeast Utilities’ New England East-West Solutions Interstate Reliability Project. The Route 44 East Locus 1 site is located in the town of Putnam, and the Route 169 East Locus 1 site is in the town of Brooklyn; both are within the upland physiographic zone of northeastern Connecticut. Findings at the Route 44 East Locus 1 site indicate the area represents a lithic workshop or campsite with a possible Late Archaic...

Sixteen projectile points from Fort Bragg, North Carolina were submitted for protein residue analysis. These tools are associated with a near continuum of cultural associations from Early Archaic to Middle Woodland. Protein analysis may provide some information as to how these tools were utilized.

Ten lithic artifacts, their associated soil controls, and a general site surface soil control from Site LA110143 in southeast New Mexico were submitted for protein residue analysis. This site exhibited two concentrations of Archaic Period lithic artifacts believed to represent hunting and faunal processing activities, as well as a small locus containing three ceramic sherds from the Jornado Mogollon Period. The site is believed to have experienced several short term occupations....

The Amanda’s Terrace Site (8HG1312), a prehistoric lithic scatter, is located in the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge in Highlands County, Florida. Eight lithic artifacts including two flake tools, a reshaped biface/knife, a possible Paleoindian fluted point, and four points dating to the Early and Middle Archaic periods (Doug MacDonald, personal communication April 12, 2017) were submitted for protein residue analysis using counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP). In addition, charcoal identification...

Samples from site 46BO419, Boone County, West Virginia were submitted for archaeobotanical and AMS radiocarbon dating analysis. Ceramic, lithic, and other stone tool artifacts were analyzed for protein residues (cross over immunoelectrophoresis) and organic residues (FTIR). Charred botanical remains were submitted for charcoal identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Results of these analyses have the potential to increase the understanding of Early Archaic through Late Woodland periods in...

Lithic artifacts from sites 36JU15 (the Groninger Site) and 36JU113 (the Henry Site) were examined for possible protein residues. In addition, a nutting stone and an axe from 36JU15 were examined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). These sites are located along Tuscarora Creek in southern Pennsylvania. Primary occupations during the Late Archaic (ca. 1500 BC) to the Late Woodland (ca. AD 1000-1250) were noted at the Groninger Site. In addition, more limited evidence for an...

Forty artifacts from site 11PK1702 in Bay Creek valley, Pike County, western Illinois, were submitted for ethnobotanic analyses. Twenty-two lithic tools were analyzed for protein, and fourteen ceramic sherds, two hammerstones, and two groundstones were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Pollen, starch, and phytolith analysis were also performed on two of the ceramic sherds. Site 11PK1702 represents a special function lithic workshop with intensive...
