Two bulk soil samples and twenty-seven detrital charcoal samples collected along the Henrys Fork River in northeast Idaho and southwest Montana were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. These samples were recovered from soil pits on Holocene terraces. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. A total of eight samples were processed for radiocarbon age determination.
POLLEN AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE FROM THE WHITETAIL BUFFALO SKULL SITE, GL-2-1-94, IN SOUTHWEST MONTANA (1995)
Two pieces of groundstone from Site GL-2-1-94 were washed for pollen and protein residues. This site is an open air campsite located along Whitetail Creek. One of the groundstone artifacts exhibited two grinding surfaces; these two grinding surfaces were treated as two separate samples. Pollen analysis is used to provide information concerning plants processed using these pieces of groundstone, while protein residue analysis is used to address questions concerning use of animal resources.
