Protein residue analysis was conducted on 10 obsidian flaked tools from the Norris Campground site (48YE14), located within Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The site is located within the Norris Geyser Basin and is currently characterized by open timber stands. This site has been occupied periodically for approximately 9000 years and may have served primarily as a short-duration camp and obsidian biface production workshop. All of the submitted tools were excavated during the 1993 field...

A total of four flaked stone tools from site Lokal 8/9, located along the coast of southern Sweden, were submitted for protein residue analysis. These tools were recovered from various feature-types associated with three Mesolithic huts that date to around 8,000 BP. Aquatic resources (fish) were most likely exploited by the site occupants. Protein residue analysis was conducted to identify animals that may have been processed with these tools.

Three Clovis projectile point bases and one projectile point tip were submitted for protein residue analysis. These artifacts were recovered from a site in the Cedar Mountains, within the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in western Utah. This analysis will attempt to recover and identify any plant and animal protein residues that may be present on the surface of these tools.

A total of nine stone artifacts were submitted for protein residue analysis from sites Hi0v80, HiOv16, HiOv83, HiOv126, and HiOv92, located in northern Alberta, Canada. Archaeological activities are related to the 2008 Fort Hills mitigation (FMA Project 115708.MI08). These sites are within the Central Mixedwood Natural Subregion of the Boreal Forest Region. Previous analysis of artifacts from this region have yielded a high rate of positive protein residue results, likely due to the...

A single groundstone fragment with a utilized surface from site 46KA622 in Kanawha County, West Virginia, was submitted for organic residue analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Sixteen lithic tools and nine soil control samples also were submitted for protein residue analysis. These analyses will be used to determine possible materials processed with the artifacts.

The Gault site (41BL323) is a large, multicomponent site situated in the valley of a small stream between the Black Prairie region of the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Edwards Plateau ecotones in Bell County, Texas. A nearby chert outcrop was part of what attracted humans to the area. Six lithics were recovered during the 2013 site excavations from a block adjacent to a 1998 excavation where mammoth remains and Clovis tools were exposed. The six lithics were submitted for protein residue analysis...

Six chert projectile point fragments were submitted for protein residue analysis, along with two probable smoking pipe fragments for pollen, phytolith, starch, and organic residue analysis. As both pipe fragments belonged to the same pipe the fragment with the least naturally occurring asphaltum on the exterior was selected for organic residue analysis, and both fragments were used for pollen, phytolith, and starch analysis. The pipe fragment selected for organic residue analysis was tested...

Sites EgPn 442 and EgPn 441, located close to one another on the western outskirts of Calgary, were occupied between approximately 4200 BP and the Proto-Historic period, collectively. Three projectile points, a Hanna Point (4200-3000 BP) and a metal point from the Proto-Historic occupation were tested from EgPn 442. Site EgPn 441 yielded a Samantha Point (2000 to 1200 BP) for protein residue analysis. The goal of the analysis is to remove and identify any protein residues that may be present on...
