PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF THREE STONE TOOLS FROM SITE FDOT 31, SOUTHEASTERN ALBERTA, CANADA

Author(s): Chad Yost

Year: 2010

Summary

Site FdOt 31, a multi-component site located in southeastern Alberta, has an upper component with radiocarbon dates of 1080 ±40 and 1190 ±40 RCYBP and a lower component with a radiocarbon date of 6950 ±50 RCYBP. A total of three stone tools were submitted for protein residue analysis. A quartzite biface (sample 1962) was found in the upper component and a quartzite biface (sample 1881) and a projectile point (sample 1875) were found in the lower component. The goal of the analysis was to identify the origin of any protein residues that may be present on the surfaces of these tools.
