Three stone crescents were submitted for protein and organic residue analysis. Two of the crescents were found in the Older River Bed delta on the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, and one was recovered from site 42MD2620 in the Cove Creek area in Utah. Crescents were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and protein residues using cross-over immunoelectrophoresis. The crescents are thought to have been used for harvesting cattail, and it is hoped...
PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF CLOVIS POINTS AND GREAT BASIN POINTS FROM SITES 42MD2502, 42MD2604, 42MD2620, 42MD2679, 42MD2645, AND 42MD3076, MILLARD COUNTY, UTAH (2008)
Eight Clovis and four Great Basin Stemmed projectile points and bases were submitted for protein (blood) residue analysis. These artifacts were associated with lithic scatters recovered from six sites, all affected by moderate to severe wildland fire intensity and wind deflation of sediments. The goal of this study is to detect protein residues associated with the use of these artifacts.
