AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF THUJA PLICATA (WESTERN RED CEDAR) BARK FROM THE HIGH BAR CACHE, SITE 10IH3488, IDAHO (2010)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

Fragments of Thuja plicata (western red cedar) bark from the High Bar Cache, site 10IH3488, in Hells Canyon, Idaho, were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This cache consists of a greenstone pestle, a wooden tool, and textiles stored under a cairn in a boulder overhang, which is believed to represent a cache of a woman’s equipment and possessions. AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained on fragments of inner cedar bark from a woven mat and from a large bundle of bark.


PHYTOLITH, STARCH, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARRED RESIDUE FROM A CERAMIC SHERD, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF BONE FROM THE NE’HU-LAT-POE VILLAGE, SITE 10IH3337, IDAHO (2010)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Melissa K. Logan. Chad Yost.

A ceramic rim sherd and two bone fragments from the Ne’hu-lat-poe Village, site 10IH3337, in the Nez Perce National Forest in Idaho County, Idaho, were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This multicomponent site is one of five ancient Nez Perce villages found in the area. Phytolith, starch, and organic residue analyses also were performed on the ceramic rim sherd. The sherd was tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Phytolith, starch, and organic...


POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF A PESTLE FROM THE HIGH BAR CACHE SITE (10IH3488), IDAHO (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Chad Yost. Melissa K. Logan. Linda Scott Cummings.

A pestle from the High Bar Cache site (10IH3488) in Hells Canyon, Idaho, was submitted for pollen, starch, phytolith, protein, and organic residue analyses. The sample was tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). An AMS radiocarbon date of 525 ± 15 RCYBP had previously been obtained for fragments of inner cedar bark from a woven mat and a large bundle of bark included with this cache (Puseman 2010). Pollen, starch, phytolith, protein, and organic residue...
