PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF PROJECTILE POINTS FROM SITES EGPN 441 AND EGPN 442, VALLEY RIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA

Author(s): Chad Yost

Year: 2010

Summary

Sites EgPn 442 and EgPn 441, located close to one another on the western outskirts of Calgary, were occupied between approximately 4200 BP and the Proto-Historic period, collectively. Three projectile points, a Hanna Point (4200-3000 BP) and a metal point from the Proto-Historic occupation were tested from EgPn 442. Site EgPn 441 yielded a Samantha Point (2000 to 1200 BP) for protein residue analysis. The goal of the analysis is to remove and identify any protein residues that may be present on the surfaces of these tools.
