DOCUMENT Full-Text Kathryn Puseman.

A mano and a metate fragment from Site 48C01990 in northeast Wyoming were analyzed for possible protein residues. Immunological studies have shown that protein residues from a tool's surface can be identified using modified forensic procedures. The pieces of groundstone were analyzed to determine if animal remains and/or yucca were processed using these tools.
