POLLEN, STARCH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 5GN2404, GUNNISON COUNTY, COLORADO

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Melissa K. Logan

Year: 2010

Summary

Site 5GN2404, situated on a south-facing slope overlooking the Gunnison River Valley, was examined as part of work on the Blue Mesa-Skito Transmission Line. This large scatter of flaked lithic and ground stone artifacts also includes several thermal pits (Barb Lockwood, personal communication, August 11, 2010). Samples of ground stone and thermal pit fill were submitted for pollen, starch, and/or organic residue analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR).
