POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS FOR THE WEST BLENNERHASSETT SITE (46WD83-A), WEST VIRGINIA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2006
Summary
A total of 24 lithic artifacts and 3 pieces of groundstone were submitted from the West
Blennerhassett site (46WD83-A) on the West Blennerhassett Island in the Ohio River, northwest
West Virginia. Samples were recovered from horizons associated with occupations from the
Late Early Archaic (c. 6470-6300 B.C.) through the Terminal Early Archaic-Early Middle Archaic
(c. 6210-5430 B.C.). The groundstone were washed to recover pollen, phytoliths, and starches
to provide evidence for processing of plant resources with these tools. Lithic artifacts were
examined for the presence of possible protein residues resulting from use to hunt/process
animal resources.
