The Cedar Fork Creek Mastodon site appears to be a PaleoIndian Proboscidean bone workshop located in Morrow County, Ohio. It is believed that the remains of a mastodon are buried somewhere under a modern day bog-like pond (George DeMuth, personal communication, September 23, 2019). It is also believed the prehistoric people harvested and dragged parts of the mastodon away to the workshop located on a nearby hill. The mastodon remains were then likely processed for food and for making useful...

During the period after Mexico established its independence from Spanish rule in 1821, trade between the eastern and western halves of the United States thrived, inducing the development of various trail networks (National Park Service 2014). Among these was the Old Spanish Trail, whose routes spanned much of the Southwest extending between Santa Fe, New Mexico, through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and eventually into Los Angeles, California. The trail was used by a variety of groups...

The Eaton Site is a multicomponent site situated on a knoll overlooking Cazenovia Creek in West Seneca, Erie County, New York. The site was utilized intermittently from late Paleoindian times to the early 19th Century (William Engelbrecht, personal communication, October 31, 2018). The major occupation of the site was an AD 1550 Iroquoian village. Three chert lithics recovered from an Iroquoian longhouse during the 1990 Buffalo State, State University of New York Field School were submitted for...

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...

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.

Single projectile points recovered from sites HhOv-256, HhOv-55, and HhOv-449 north of Fort McKay in Alberta, Canada, were examined for possible protein residues. These points were recovered during Phase II excavations for the Transcanada Pipelines Fort McKay Mainline Project. The sites consist mainly of lithic debitage and tools. Protein residue analysis of the projectile points will be used to provide information concerning animals that might have been hunted with these tools.

A total of nine lithic artifacts from sites HhOv-304, HhOv-305, and HhOv-323 were tested for possible protein residues. These sites were identified in the development area for the Birch Mountain Resources Muskeg Valley Quarry (MVQ), approximately 60 km north of Fort McMurray in northeastern Alberta, Canada. Due to minimal preservation of organic remains, archaeological sites in this area are noted to be of uncertain age. Most sites are believed to pedate the period of increasing local...
