ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 33-HN-175, HARRISON HUB FRACTIONATION FACILITY PROJECT, HARRISON COUNTY, OHIO

Summary

The Late Archaic 33-Hn-175 site is situated in a previously active agricultural field northwest of Scio in Harrison County, Ohio. Brewerton projectile points recovered from the plow zone along with a radiocarbon date obtained from a feature places the site occupation within the Late Archaic period, 2070 BP ± 30 RCYBP. Six fill samples from separate features were submitted for organic residue analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), which provides information concerning compounds present in the feature fill. Information concerning foods that may have been processed in association with feature fill samples was derived from matches with our reference library of processed plants and animals, while information concerning the environment is inferred from matches with our reference library of raw plants and animals.
