Author(s): Melissa K. Logan

Year: 2011

Summary

Fill and fire-cracked rock recovered from six hearths at the Sevenmile Gulch Site (48SW1673) in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, were submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Organic residue analysis is used to gain information regarding economic use of plants and animals at the site, and perhaps feature and artifact function.
