MACROFLORAL, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM HERKIMER HOUSING AUTHORITY, SITE HHA-1 PRECONTACT, HERKIMER COUNTY, NEW YORK (2020)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings.

Site HHA-1 represents precontact use of a level floodplain at the confluence of two major waterways, the Mohawk River and West Canada Creek. Three samples were collected from Feature 1, a circular fire-cracked rock (FCR) deposit, for macrofloral, phytolith, starch, and organic residue analysis, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. These analyses examined sediments and FCR from the feature in search of evidence of economic activity.
