PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF A POSSIBLE STONE TOOL FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Chad Yost

Year: 2010

Summary

A broken boulder that may have been used as a stone tool (maul) was submitted for protein residue analysis. This tool was recovered from the National City Mastodon Site in National City, a southern suburb of San Diego, California. The rock was found among broken mastodon bones. If this boulder was used to process plant or animal remains, identifiable proteins may be present in the micro-crevices on its surface.
