Thirty-one protein residue washes recovered in the field from bedrock mortars were tested against acorn (oak, Quercus sp.) antiserum. These samples had been tested previously against various antisera at another lab, but were submitted to PaleoResearch specifically for testing against acorn antiserum.

A granite pestle and an associated soil control sample recovered from Feature 2, an exposed, low-lying granite bedrock milling station at Site CA-TUO-4818 in Yosemite National Park, California, were submitted for protein and organic residue analysis. The pestle was tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and for protein residue using cross-over immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP).

Washes from three bedrock milling features (mortars) and a surface control sample were submitted for protein residue analysis from the BTC Milling Site, P-33-11224, located in Riverside County, California, near the community of French Valley. The goal of the analysis is to identify any plant, animal, and insect protein residues that may be present on the use surfaces of three non-portable bedrock milling features.
