Protein Residue Analysis (Other Keyword)
301-314 (314 Records)
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...

The site is located along a narrow terrace tread on the east bank of the Columbia River, within lands historically associated with Salish speaking groups. Sinkayuse and Wenatchi villages are located nearby. Entiat and Chelan use of this area is also reported. The pestle was recovered...
PROTEIN RESIDUE, POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM ASPEN PICNIC SITE (89K/EeMa-2), RIDING MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, MANITOBA, CANADA (2014)
The Aspen Picnic Site (89K/EeMa-2) is a multi-component Woodland site with three to four stratified occupations. It is situated along the north shore of Clear Lake in Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada where it was identified in 1971 and tested in 1972. Artifacts and features were exposed during additional testing as part of an impact assessment along with mitigation based excavations in 2013 (Donalee Deck, personal communication February 4, 2014). Five lithic samples were selected...
PROTEIN RESIDUE, POLLEN, STARCH, AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF STONE SAMPLES FROM CAVES 2 AND 5, PAISLEY 5 MILE POINT CAVES, SITE 35LK3400, OREGON (2010)
A hand stone and 4 slab fragments cut from a large boulder were submitted for protein residue analysis from the Paisley 5 Mile Point Caves, Oregon. Previous work by other researchers has identified the presence of a variety of mammal and fish protein residue and DNA at the Paisley Caves. Because of the age of this site, the suite of protein residue antisera used to test these artifacts included elephant, camel, and horse, representing Late-Pleistocene fauna now extinct in North America. In...
PROTEIN, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR), POLLEN, STARCH, AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 11PK1702, ILLINOIS (2009)
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...
PROTEIN, PHYTOLITH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF TWO SEMI-LUNAR KNIVES (2017)
Semi-lunar pre-contact stone tools, recovered from two sites (Walker Point Site, Bluff Section, RI-653 and the Susquetonscut Brook Pre-Contract Site 4, 71-033), were submitted for protein residue analysis as part of a research project studying their use. The sites are situated along the Seekonk River in Rhode Island and above Susquetonscut Brook in the Yantic River drainage in eastern Connecticut.
RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF AN ORGANIC STAIN FROM SITE 41RN169, TEXAS (1990)
