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.
