1-4 (4 Records)
The Drum Mountains Paleoseismic Trench lies approximately 5–10 km west of Delta in Millard County, Utah. Two bulk soil samples collected from colluvial wedge (fault) deposits in a paleoseismic trench were submitted for macrofloral analysis. Botanic components including charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. In addition, microscopic charcoal recovery and AMS radiocarbon age determination was requested for both samples.
PROTEIN AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF CRESCENTS FROM THE DUGWAY PROVING GROUND AND SITE 42MD2620, UTAH (2009)
Three stone crescents were submitted for protein and organic residue analysis. Two of the crescents were found in the Older River Bed delta on the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, and one was recovered from site 42MD2620 in the Cove Creek area in Utah. Crescents were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and protein residues using cross-over immunoelectrophoresis. The crescents are thought to have been used for harvesting cattail, and it is hoped...
PROTEIN RESIDUE (CIEP) ANALYSIS OF A BASALT COBBLE FROM THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL, MILLARD COUNTY, UTAH (2014)
During the period after Mexico established its independence from Spanish rule in 1821, trade between the eastern and western halves of the United States thrived, inducing the development of various trail networks (National Park Service 2014). Among these was the Old Spanish Trail, whose routes spanned much of the Southwest extending between Santa Fe, New Mexico, through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and eventually into Los Angeles, California. The trail was used by a variety of groups...
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF CLOVIS POINTS AND GREAT BASIN POINTS FROM SITES 42MD2502, 42MD2604, 42MD2620, 42MD2679, 42MD2645, AND 42MD3076, MILLARD COUNTY, UTAH (2008)
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.
