Two Early Woodland prehistoric ceramic sherds exhibiting interior residue, excavated from a sub plow zone ceramic concentration, were submitted for ceramic residue and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to determine foods and/or medicines processed in this vessel and inform concerning use of the site in the Early Woodland...
CERAMIC RESIDUE AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM THE RIVER FARM SITE (18AN881), ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MARYLAND (2017)
The River Farm site (18AN881) exhibits Early Archaic through Late Woodland components, as well as historic use. It is situated on the eastern bank of the Patuxent River in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Several features were observed, two of which were sampled for analysis. Two ceramic sherds exhibiting charred food crust and two closely associated charred botanic fragments were submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Microscopic analysis of the contents of the charred food crust from both...
CHARCOAL AND BOTANIC IDENTIFICATION, AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION, AND CERAMIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE RI 935, PROVIDENCE COUNTY, RHODE ISLAND (2017)
Site RI 935 lies at the confluence of the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck Rivers in Providence, Rhode Island. Two excavation areas, Carpenter’s Point and North Shore, revealed pre-contact deposits indicating occupation within the Middle Archaic Period and especially during the Late and Transitional Archaic Periods. Intensive use of this area also is noted around and after ~ AD 1000 (Late Woodland). Charcoal and charred botanic samples from 11 features were submitted for identification and AMS...
EXAMINATION OF NESTED VESSEL CONTENTS, 42SA14237, SAN JUAN COUNTY, UTAH (2016)
A complete grayware jar with banded neck was recovered from the sidewall of a looter’s pit at 42SA14237. The jar and its undisturbed contents were mailed to PaleoResearch Institute, Inc. for study. While carefully pouring out the sand from the jar, we noted another small vessel inside the grayware banded neck vessel (Figure 1:A). We continued to pour out the sand while holding that tiny vessel in place, then retrieved it using a pair of tweezers. Beneath the tiny vessel was a mass of charred...
POLLEN ANALYSIS OF RESIDUE FROM TWO CERAMIC SHERDS FROM TSAGHKAHOVIT, ARMENIA (2012)
Two ceramic sherds representing a pot and a red bowl were recovered from Tsaghkahovit, Armenia. The cooking pot, recovered from locus 17, exhibited burning on the exterior of the body as well as residue on the inside. The small fineware bowl, found in locus 38, also contained residue on the inside. Residue was scraped from the inside of both of these intact ceramic vessels and submitted for pollen and starch analysis to determine their contents.
POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE AND CERAMIC RESIDUE FROM SITE 41PN175, TEXAS (2012)
Groundstone tools and ceramic sherds from site 41PN175 were submitted for pollen, phytolith, and starch grain analyses. This site is a middle-late Caddoan farmstead or hamlet located in Panola County, in eastern Texas. Pollen, starch, and phytolith analyses were used to recover and identify microscopic plant remains derived from processing and cooking activities.
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF A SOAPSTONE VESSEL FROM SITE NA-CA-SBA-204-1, SANTA YNEZ VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (2016)
