PHYTOLITH AND PROTEIN ANALYSIS OF LITHIC SAMPLES FROM SITES GaSa-29, GdRr-4, GgRm-1, GiRk-10, AND GjRi-4, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Summary

Five prehistoric archaeological sites (GaSa-29, GdRr-4, GgRm-1, GiRk-10, and GjRi-4) located throughout the Interior Plateau, Central Canadian Rocky Mountains, and Rocky Mountain Foothills of northern British Columbia, Canada, yielded numerous flaked lithics from various cultural period affiliations. Ten lithic artifacts were submitted by Roy Northern Land and Environmental to PaleoResearch Institute for protein residue analysis. An additional lithic artifact was submitted to PaleoResearch for phytolith analysis. The objectives of Roy Northern are to determine which animals (in the cases of protein residue analysis) and plants (in the case of phytolith analysis) might have been processed with each lithic artifact (Stephan Girard, personal communication, January 18, 2019).
