The Cache site (24HL49) is a pottery cache located on the south side of the Milk River in the vicinity of the Fresno Dam, Fresno, Montana. Two vessels that date to the Late Prehistoric Period were recovered from the site, one nested inside the other. Vessel 1 is a nearly complete vessel, which is represented by 37 sherds and appears to have been crushed by the weight of the settling cap-rock. Black, carbonized organic matter was noted on the interior of the vessel. Vessel 2 is an incomplete,...

Two fill samples from a hearth feature at site LA 174561 in Eddy County, southeast New Mexico, were analyzed for pollen, phytoliths, starches, and macrofloral remains. Charcoal fragments recovered from the macrofloral samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition to the hearth, this site contains three surface scatters of thermally-altered caliche and is believed to represent a multi-use, short-term, temporary prehistoric camp used for seasonal exploitation of plant and animal...

The Otis Hare Site (8LI172) is a riverbank freshwater shell midden campsite or small village located in Liberty County, northwest Florida. It is situated about 5 kilometers southwest of the town of Bristol, in the middle Apalachicola River valley (Nancy White, personal communication November 28, 2017). One sample of either human or canine coprolite was submitted for pollen, phytolith, starch, macrofloral, and FTIR analysis, and AMS radiocarbon age determination.

A steatite bowl found at Horsetooth Reservoir, northern Colorado, was washed to recover pollen, phytoliths, and starches. An area of thin residue from the interior of the bowl was examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Charred residue from the bowl exterior also was examined for organic residues and was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.

Multiple archaeological sites located within the boundaries of the Camp Guernsey Installation provided ceramics, lithics, and sediment sample for pollen, phytolith, starch, protein, and/or macrofloral analysis, and/or for infrared analysis of organic chemicals and/or XRF analysis of elements (Table 1). Obsidian flakes submitted from three sites were sourced using XRF elemental analysis. Charcoal identified from three locations was AMS radiocarbon dated.

Two coprolites from the Chapman Caves collection were submitted for pollen, phytolith, starch, parasite, and macrofloral analyses. Chapman Caves, site CA-INY-1534, is located on the Naval Air Weapons Center (NAWS), China Lake, California, and consists of two small rockshelters/caves that had been previously excavated from 1967-1969 by Timothy Shaw Hillebrand. The two coprolites submitted for analysis had not been previously recorded and were recently found labeled in the Chapman Caves collection...

Sediment samples adjacent to eight fire-altered rock features at Sites CA-LAN-1777, CA-LAN-1780, and CA-LAN-3873 in southern California were examined for pollen to determine plants that might have been processed using these features. Charcoal samples collected within the features were submitted for identification to identify woods burned as fuel. AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained from the charcoal to provide temporal information concerning use of these features. Charcoal also was identified...

Eight sites located on Ft. Bliss, including one open-air campsite and seven sites located in interdunal areas interspersed with blowouts are the subject of this study. All sites are located in Doña County, New Mexico and include LA 30023, LA 91050, LA 91057, LA 91067, LA 91136, LA 91143, LA 91153, and LA 92546. Samples from these sites were examined for pollen and organic residues, the latter using FTIR. Pollen analyses will be used to provide subsistence information concerning plant resources...

Fill from an unlined pit hearth at the Falling Cow site near the town of Saratoga in southcentral Wyoming was submitted for pollen, starch, phytolith, and macrofloral analyses. These analyses will be used to provide information concerning plant resources that might have been processed in the hearth. Charcoal recovered from the sample also was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.

Samples from features at Corn Creek, site 26CK2605, in the Corn Creek Field Station, Desert National Wildlife Refuge in Clark County, southern Nevada, were submitted for pollen, phytolith, macrofloral (including charcoal identification), and organic residue analyses. Organic residues were examined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Charred remains recovered from the macrofloral samples were submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating. This site is very large and contains numerous loci and...

Two fire broken rock fragments and an associated sediment sample were submitted for organic residue analysis, along with three bison bone fragments for AMS radiocarbon dating, and a single lithic tool for protein analysis from site FjPi-162, Alberta, Canada. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to examine organic residues from the fire broken rock and sediment samples. Organic residue analysis was performed first on the two fire broken rock samples to determine if they were...

Lithics, fire-broken rock, and bone from sites EgPr 7, EgPr 8, EgPs 65, EgPs 66, EgPs 67, EgPs 68, EgPs 70, EgPs 87, EhPq 3, EhPr 4, EhPr 24, and EhPr 25 in Alberta, Canada, were submitted for protein and organic residue analysis, and AMS radiocarbon dating. These sites vary in cultural affiliation and occupation periods. AMS radiocarbon dating helps place the sites in an absolute chronological time frame, while protein and organic residue analysis provide information on the types of plants and...

The Anzick Site (24PA506) is located in the intermontane Shields River Valley in Park County, Montana. This collapsed rockshelter contains burial features and an artifact assemblage. It was discovered by construction workers in 1968 (Stockton White, personal communication, October 17, 2018). The context of the site and burial and the original provenience of the artifacts are not known. Six lithics from the artifact assemblage were submitted for protein residue, and elemental composition (X-ray...

Gahnihthah Mie (Site 118X77/5342X) appears to be a single component precontact site located on the upper bank of Rabbitkettle Lake in the Northwest Territories. Charcoal recovered from two hearths was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating to establish the period of use. In addition, four lithic tools were submitted for protein residue analysis to identify economic activity.

AMS radiocarbon dating and protein residue analysis of samples from the Smock-Biguiziak Site (36CW248), located in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, were undertaken to provide basal dates for the swampy area below the site and an indicating of animals being hunted by occupants of the site. Dates were obtained on conifer charcoal recovered from a depth of 109-111 cm, and precipitated humates from a depth of 131-134.

Swallow Shelter (5JF331) is located in the foothills of the Colorado Front Range. Nestled in the hogback area, the surrounding vegetation includes Gambel's oak (Quercus gambelii), grasses, and forbs. Excavation over the period of years has yielded numerous artifacts, including a collection of decorated burned and calcined bone. A portion of one of the decorated, calcined bone fragments was selected for AMS radiocarbon dating.
