A single obsidian fluted point and an associated soil control from the Bog Site, CA-SDI-2506, in the Lost Valley area in northeastern San Diego County, California, were tested for possible protein residues. Although the site has been culturally affiliated with a seasonal camp of the late prehistoric and protohistoric Cupeno People and possibly the Mountain Cahuilla, the fluted point is believed to represent the early Holocene Clovis Culture approximately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Obsidian...

A Haskett projectile point collected from the surface of the Great Salt Lake Desert in Tooele County, Utah was submitted for protein residue analysis. The artifact was associated with site 42TO5135, a large Paleoindian surface lithic scatter with 68 various stone tools such as projectile points, scrapers, bifaces, and utilized flakes (Daron Duke, Personal Communication, February 04, 2013). Most artifacts from the playa surface were heavily weathered, but the projectile point appeared to have...

A total of 15 stone tools from the Bull Creek Cache, site 34BV180, in western Oklahoma were tested for possible protein residues. One soil control sample also was submitted for analysis. The Bull Creek Cache is a Clovis tool cache containing 112 lithic artifacts located along Bull Creek, a tributary to the Beaver River, just downstream from the Bull Creek site. The cache consists of bifaces, flakes, large overshot flakes, and blades that exhibit edge shaping and resharpening, suggesting...

Two Clovis projectile points from the Jake Bluff site (34HP60) and three Folsom projectile points from the Cooper site (34HP45) in northwest Oklahoma were analyzed for protein residues. Single soil samples from each of these sites also were tested. At the Jake Bluff site, the remains of 15 Bison antiquus were found associated with the two Clovis projectile points in the bottom of a short arroyo. A radiocarbon date of 10,750 BP suggests that this site post-dates mammoth extinction in the area...

Clovis biface tools from sites 42MD2502 and 42MD2604 were submitted for protein residue analysis. The sites were surveyed and recorded as part of the Milford Flat Project. Both sites are located in the Sevier Desert-Black Rock Desert, Utah, adjacent to Cove Creek. This analysis was undertaken to determine if protein residues derived from the use of these tools were present and identifiable.

Eight Clovis and four Great Basin Stemmed projectile points and bases were submitted for protein (blood) residue analysis. These artifacts were associated with lithic scatters recovered from six sites, all affected by moderate to severe wildland fire intensity and wind deflation of sediments. The goal of this study is to detect protein residues associated with the use of these artifacts.

Three Clovis projectile point bases and one projectile point tip were submitted for protein residue analysis. These artifacts were recovered from a site in the Cedar Mountains, within the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in western Utah. This analysis will attempt to recover and identify any plant and animal protein residues that may be present on the surface of these tools.

The Gault site (41BL323) is a large, multicomponent site situated in the valley of a small stream between the Black Prairie region of the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Edwards Plateau ecotones in Bell County, Texas. A nearby chert outcrop was part of what attracted humans to the area. Six lithics were recovered during the 2013 site excavations from a block adjacent to a 1998 excavation where mammoth remains and Clovis tools were exposed. The six lithics were submitted for protein residue analysis...

Water was drained from the artificial St. Mary’s irrigation reservoir leaving the bottom exposed along with bones and trackways of late Pleistocene animals and stone artifacts. Three lithic artifacts were recovered from Wally’s Beach Site (DhPg-8), a possible hunting and butchering site situated in the draw down zone of the St. Mary’s irrigation reservoir, Alberta, Canada. One of the lithics was associated with camel remains while another was recovered among horse remains. The third item, a...

Site 27-CO-74 is a large Paleoindian site consisting of multiple artifact concentrations and a general low density artifact distribution. The site is currently overlain by farmland and is situated on a rise of land on the northeastern side of the Israel River Valley in Coos County, New Hampshire. To the north is a small brook with riparian vegetation including cattails. Two lithics recovered from the north end of the defined site area were submitted for protein residue analysis to determine...

Six Paleoindian sites were recorded in the Old River Bed (ORB) area and the Redden Springs area of Dugway Proving Ground, Tooele County, Utah. These open artifact scatters contained lithic tools, flakes, and cores produced from a variety of materials including finegrained volcanic rock (obsidian or basalt), chert, limestone, and quartzite. Fifteen lithic tools and four sediment control samples from the sites were submitted for protein residue analysis.

A Clovis projectile point from Site 13WD101 in Sioux City, Iowa, was analyzed for possible protein residues. This projectile point had a calcium carbonate encrustation that was removed prior to protein residue analysis and was examined for pollen to identify any pollen and/or phytoliths that might represent vegetation at the time the calcium carbonates formed on the tool. A small reworked Clovis or Goshen projectile point from Site 39CL09 in Vermillion, South Dakota, also was tested for possible...

A variety of stone tools, including scrapers, projectile points and flakes, as well as, a feature fill soil sample, were submitted for protein residue analysis from a cluster of sites in northeastern Alberta. Previous protein residue analysis of artifacts from this area by PaleoResearch Institute (PRI) have resulted in good rates of positive protein reactivity, possibly due to good preservation from low biological soil activity. Results of this analysis should provide valuable animal subsistence...

The Amanda’s Terrace Site (8HG1312), a prehistoric lithic scatter, is located in the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge in Highlands County, Florida. Eight lithic artifacts including two flake tools, a reshaped biface/knife, a possible Paleoindian fluted point, and four points dating to the Early and Middle Archaic periods (Doug MacDonald, personal communication April 12, 2017) were submitted for protein residue analysis using counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP). In addition, charcoal identification...

Items in the DAP nonflaked lithic tool assemblage and miscellaneous material files that represent “unusual materials of geologic origin” have been collected within a single rare rocks dataset (Keane and Clay 1987:507). More specifically, the dataset contains both naturally occurring and culturally modified items comprised of geological resources that are found in the Dolores Valley, or have been transported over long distances (Keane and Clay 1987). Items fashioned from rare material types are...
