Pollen, phytolith, macrofloral, and/or protein residue analyses were conducted on two grinding surfaces and sediment from a hopper mortar at the Mortar Riddle Site, 35HA2627, in southeast Oregon. Pollen, phytolith, macrofloral, and protein residue analysis analyses are used to provide information concerning types of resources that were processed using this mortar. It was suspected that this piece of ground stone was used for processing animal products as well as plant products.
