DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Chad Yost. Melissa K. Logan.

Residue from a tubular pipe associated with a human burial from the Falls Creek Rockshelter site (5LP1434) was examined for pollen, starch grains, phytoliths, and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). These analyses are used to detect microscopic and molecular remains from plant and animal resources that might have been smoked and/or packed in the pipe for burial.
