Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) (Geographic Keyword)
1-6 (6 Records)
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 ANALYSIS OF A CLOVIS BIFACE BASE FROM SITE 42TO5158, TOOELE COUNTY, UTAH (2012)
The fluted base of a Mahog obsidian Clovis biface recovered from site 42TO5158, Tooele County, Utah was submitted for protein residue analysis. The site is an open prehistoric artifact scatter situated on the extinct lakebed of Lake Bonneville. This analysis was undertaken to determine if protein residues derived from the use of the Clovis biface were present and identifiable.
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF BLADE SCRAPERS FROM CLOVIS SITE 42TO3794, DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, CEDAR MOUNTAINS, UTAH (2010)
Eight blade scrapers made from chert material were submitted for protein residue analysis from site 42TO3794, which is situated within the Dugway Proving Ground, located in the Cedar Mountains of Utah. This site is reported as being a Clovis site, so testing of these tools included the Late-Pleistocene suite of animal antisera.
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF FOUR CLOVIS POINTS FROM THE DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, DUGWAY, UTAH (2009)
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.
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHICS FROM SITES 42TO3142, 42TO5561, 42TO5562, 42TO5564, ORB IO (DPGIF), AND EAST REDDEN 1 (ER-1), TOOELE COUNTY, UTAH (2014)
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.
STARCH, PROTEIN RESIDUE, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR), MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF SAMPLES FROM SITES 42JB1732, 42JB1739, 42JB1749, 42JB1760, 42JB1764, KEG MOUNTAIN RANCH, AND 42TO3974, UTAH (2011)
Lithic tools, groundstone, fire-cracked rock, charcoal, and sediment samples from sites 42JB1732, 42JB1739, 42JB1749, 42JB1760, 42JB1764, and Keg Mountain Ranch, in the Old River Bed Valley, western Utah, were submitted for starch, protein residue, organic residue, and macrofloral analyses, as well as charcoal identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. The samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). A basalt chopper from Clovis site 42TO3794,...
