DOCUMENT Full-Text Curtis Nepstad-Thornberry. Linda Scott Cummings. Kathryn Puseman.

Two manos and one metate fragment from Site CA-SDI-5326 in southern California were washed for pollen and possible protein residues. This site is located within the northern limit of the City of San Diego and is believed to represent a temporary resource extraction and processing camp. Pollen and protein residue analysis is used to provide information concerning plant and animal resources that might have been processed using these tools.


PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHIC ARTIFACTS FROM THE SILVAS-MCCOY SITE, OLD TOWN SAN DIEGO STATE HISTORICAL PARK, CALIFORNIA (1996)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

Three lithic artifacts from the historic Silvas-McCoy site in the Old Town San Diego State Historical Park in southern California were analyzed for possible protein residues. This site consists of five houses built during the late Mexican (1821-1846) to early United States (1846- 1872) periods. Protein residue analysis is used to determine if the artifacts were used to process animal remains.
