DOCUMENT Full-Text Melissa K. Logan. Linda Scott Cummings. Chad Yost.

Residue from a stone pipe associated with a human burial at the Darkmold Site near Durango, Colorado was examined for pollen, starch, and phytolith remains, as well as organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). Organic residue analysis is used to detect molecular remains from plant and animal resources that might have been smoked and/or packed in the pipe for burial.
