PHYTOLITH, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF PIPE RESIDUE FROM THE MILITARY ACADEMY SITE, NIANTIC, CONNECTICUT

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

Year: 2010

Summary

Residue from the bowl of a Late Woodland period clay pipe found at the Military Academy Site in Niantic, Connecticut was submitted for phytolith and organic residue analysis to gain information regarding materials smoked. AMS radiocarbon dating was performed on this residue to obtain a date for the use of the pipe. In addition, the residue was tested for the presence of organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.
