Full-Text
Hearth fill and fire-broken rock from sites EfOo 180, EfOo 134, and EjOp 29, Alberta, Canada, were submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Five lithic tools from these sites also were analyzed for protein residues. Protein and organic residue analysis provide information regarding diet, specifically materials processed using lithic tools and thermal features, respectively, at these sites.
