ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF THERMAL FEATURE FILL FROM SITES SRI-3 AND SRI-6, CALIFORNIA

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

Year: 2012

Summary

Fill from two thermal features at sites SRI-3 and SRI-6 near Willits, California was submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR analysis provides information concerning the compounds that were extracted from the fill samples. Information concerning foods that might have been processed in association with thermal features at these sites is derived from matches with our reference library of raw and processed plants and animals.
