Fort McMurray, Alberta (Geographic Keyword)
1-4 (4 Records)
A total of 28 lithic artifacts were submitted for protein residue analysis from nine sites in close proximity from northeastern Alberta. In addition, 2 samples of fire broken rock were submitted for organic residue analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These artifacts were recovered during archaeological survey work associated with the Muskeg River Mine Expansion Project. The project area is located approximately 60 km north of Fort McMurray. Protein and organic residue...
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF ARTIFACTS FROM SITES HHOS-9, HHOS-11, HHOS-14, HIOR-3, AND HIOR-5 FOR THE HUSKY SUNRISE THERMAL SAGD PROJECT, ALBERTA, CANADA (2004)
Artifacts from sites HhOs-9, HhOs-11, HhOs-14, HiOr-3, and HiOr-5 in the vicinity of Fort McMurray, Alberta, were tested for possible protein residues. The artifacts from these sites appear to date to approximately 9000 and 7000 BP. Analysis of protein residues from the artifacts' surface can provide information concerning processing/hunting of animals with these tools.
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF ARTIFACTS FROM SITES HHOV-294, HIOV-57, HIOU-55, AND HIOU-61 FOR THE SYNCRUDE AURORA MINE NORTH 2003 AND 2005 PROJECTS, ALBERTA, CANADA (2004)
Lithic artifacts from sites HhOv-294, HiOv-57, HiOu-55, and HiOu-61 were tested for possible protein residues. These sites were identified in the development area for the Syncrude Canada Limited's Aurora Mine North 2003 and 2005 project north of Fort McMurray in northeastern Alberta, Canada. The artifacts from these sites appear to date to the Early Precontact Period, approximately 9000 to 7000 BP. Protein residue analysis was undertaken to determine if proteins were present on the artifact...
