CERAMIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CERAMIC SHERDS FROM SITE 10Oa275, ONEIDA COUNTY, IDAHO (2010)
Three ceramic sherds, 29-88-5, 29-88-6, and 29-92-1, were submitted for ceramic analysis. The Promontory Gray sherds, samples 29-88-5 and 29-88-6, were fragments of a Promontory gray globular-shaped jar that would have measured roughly 18 to 20 cm in diameter and roughly 15 cm in height when intact. This vessel was presumed to have been used as a bone grease rendering vessel and dated between A.D. 1450 and 1650. Both sherds (29-88-5 and 29-88-6) were treated as a single sherd sample. The third...
Chemical Analysis of Fatty Acid Residues on Archaeological Pottery of Pastoralist Communities in Northern Tanzania (2016)
In the semiarid climate of eastern Africa, mobile cattle pastoralism has been an essential way of life for at least the past 5000 years (Prendergast et al. 2013). On the Mbulu Plateau of northern Tanzania, Dr. Grillo of UWLa Crosse has discovered the largest "Pastoral Neolithic" site in the country, which dates to about 3000 years ago. Based on the animal bones and ceramics found at the site, archaeologists believe the site was occupied by groups of mobile people who herded cows, goats and...
POLLEN, CERAMIC RESIDUE, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN, AND SHELL ANALYSIS FOR SITES IN THE ASHLEY NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH (2003)
Pollen, phytolith, starch, macrofloral, and protein residue analyses were conducted on numerous samples from a variety of archaeological sites in Ashley National Forest, Utah. Sites range In elevation from approxlmately 6100 feet to 9000 feet. In addition, a single shell was submitted for identification. Botanical analyses focused on recovery of information that might indicate economic activity. In addition, the pollen record was expected to provide information concerning local vegetation. A...
