ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SHERDS FROM TWO FEATURES AT 41EP1224, FORT BLISS, TEXAS

Summary

Site 41EP1224, located on Fort Bliss, in El Paso County, Texas, yielded five pieces of

ceramics from two ceramic concentrations, fill samples from three features, and two control soil

samples for organic residue analysis using the FTIR. Identification of organic residues from

ceramics is expected to yield information concerning the foods cooked in the vessels

represented. Identification of organic residues from features might reflect foods cooked in the

features if there was spillage. Finally, the two control samples will provide information

concerning at least some of the organic residues contained within the local sediments.
