CERAMIC AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS, AND AMS DATING OF CERAMIC SHERDS FROM A SINGLE VESSEL AT SITE 11PK1791/1792, PIKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS

Summary

Thirteen ceramic sherds, representing a single Late Woodland vessel from site

11PK1791/1792, were submitted for ceramic (pollen, phytolith, starch) and organic residue

analysis to determine the contents of the vessel. One sherd was selected as the best candidate

for each analysis. Organic residue was examined using Fourier Transform Infrared

Spectroscopy (FITR). Residue removed from the sherds was examined for pollen, phytoliths,

and starch, as well as AMS radiocarbon dating.
