Two containers of honey were submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for testing after a dispute between the owner of Lavender Skies and the beekeeper retained to pollinate the field. The assessment of these two jars of honey was for the purpose of verifying the presence of lavender pollen in the honey contained in each of these jars.

Sediment samples, collected from stratigraphic columns from three sites (23Ck57, 23Ck302, and 23Le174), were examined for pollen and phytoliths to provide information concerning the paleoenvironment along the Avenue of the Saints corridor in northeastern Missouri. The time periods represented by these stratigraphic samples include the Late Pleistocene at the base of 23Ck57, the Middle Holocene (6300-5500 BP) at 23Le174, and approximately 3510-2550 BP at 23Ck302. The samples 23Ck57 and 23Le174...

Twenty-eight artifacts from Site 41CS151 in northeastern Texas were analyzed for possible blood residues. Immunological studies have shown that protein residues from a tool's surface can be identified using modified forensic procedures. In addition, a soil sample from a culturally darkened area (an apparent anthrosol) and a control sample from the modern A horizon of a column were examined for the presence of phytoliths. A groundstone fragment was washed to recover pollen from the grinding...

The pollen dataset contains basic provenience data for each pollen sample collected. These data are accompanied by taxonomic classification and the grain count per taxon. Detailed locational information can be obtained by linking this dataset with the provenience dataset. Variables for the corn dataset have already been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999). In most cases, their descriptions are suitable for use as metadata and have been repeated almost verbatim here. Selected resources from the...

Site 48SW5057 is located in the northern portion of the Great Divide Basin in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The site is situated on a sand sheet between sandstone outcrop ridge spurs at an approximate elevation of 6800 ft. Pollen samples were collected from this site during archaeological mitigation to examine both the paleoenvironment and subsistence. Two separate stratigraphic columns were sampled at 32 samples were taken from features to examine the subsistence base. Occupation at this site...

Three ceramic sherds from a Woodland period “black midden” mound at the J.W. Williams II site (34Lf25) in LeFlore County, Oklahoma were submitted for ceramic (pollen, phytolith, starch) and organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Pollen, phytolith, starch, and organic residue analyses provide information regarding diet, specifically plants and/or animals processed using ceramic vessels at this site.

Three Early Woodland ceramic sherds from the Killdeer Site (23CK310) in Clark County, Missouri, were submitted for organic residue analysis. One of the sherds exhibiting visible residue was also examined for pollen, starch, and phytoliths. Sherds were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).

Six ceramic sherds from the Levee (12D363) and Keller (12D509) sites in Dearborn County, Indiana were submitted for ceramic and organic residue analysis. Organic residues will be examined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Ceramic and organic residue (FTIR) analysis will be used to provide information regarding foods and other materials processed and/or contained in the vessels represented by these sherds.

Three ceramic sherds, 29-88-5, 29-88-6, and 29-92-1, were submitted for ceramic analysis. The Promontory Gray sherds, samples 29-88-5 and 29-88-6, were fragments of a Promontory gray globular-shaped jar that would have measured roughly 18 to 20 cm in diameter and roughly 15 cm in height when intact. This vessel was presumed to have been used as a bone grease rendering vessel and dated between A.D. 1450 and 1650. Both sherds (29-88-5 and 29-88-6) were treated as a single sherd sample. The third...

Site 34MC1149 is located on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers fee-owned lands at Pine Creek Lake, 21 km northeast of the town of Fort Towson, Oklahoma. When the site was occupied in the Late Sanders (ca. AD 1200–1300) and McCurtain phases (ca. AD 1300–1700), it was situated on an upland landform overlooking the Little River Valley (Shannon R. Ryan, personal communication, January 21, 2019). R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates (RCG&A) submitted a nearly complete ceramic vessel (Sample 1) to...

Site 33FR1303 is situated near Hamilton Township in Franklin County, Ohio, on a floodplain and terrace overlooking an abandoned Scioto River channel. Two Early Woodland prehistoric ceramic sherds exhibiting interior residue, excavated from a sub plow zone ceramic concentration, were submitted for ceramic residue and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to determine foods and/or medicines processed in this vessel and inform concerning use of the site in the Early Woodland...

The River Farm site (18AN881) exhibits Early Archaic through Late Woodland components, as well as historic use. It is situated on the eastern bank of the Patuxent River in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Several features were observed, two of which were sampled for analysis. Two ceramic sherds exhibiting charred food crust and two closely associated charred botanic fragments were submitted for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Microscopic analysis of the contents of the charred food crust from both...

Four ceramic rim sherds and a chitho from the Forks Site (DlLg-33/08A), a prehistoric riverine trade loci, located in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, were submitted for ceramic and organic residue analysis. In addition, a grinder/hammer stone, a biface, and a retouched flake were examined for protein residue. The grinder/hammer stone was also tested for organic residues, as was visible residue from a limestone ochre bowl. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) will be used to verify the residue on the...

Site RI 935 lies at the confluence of the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck Rivers in Providence, Rhode Island. Two excavation areas, Carpenter’s Point and North Shore, revealed pre-contact deposits indicating occupation within the Middle Archaic Period and especially during the Late and Transitional Archaic Periods. Intensive use of this area also is noted around and after ~ AD 1000 (Late Woodland). Charcoal and charred botanic samples from 11 features were submitted for identification and AMS...

Thirteen samples from the B. F. Sisk Dam in Merced County, California, were examined to recover charcoal, wood, or other organic remains suitable for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. In addition, pollen, phytolith, and diatom analyses were conducted on one sample of charcoal in clay matrix (Station 129). Samples were collected from a trench at the downstream toe of the dam near the...

A Chinese bakery was built in the 1920s on fill that enlarged the narrow strip of land on the southeast side of the Island of Ovalau in the Fijian Archipelago, on which much of the town of Levuka is built. Since the beach was narrow in this area, many of the first commercial structures were built on fill. Cultural deposits that appear to represent a midden behind the structure were examined to identify likely local vegetation at the time they accumulated, which is assumed to be associated with...
