Full-Text
Nine formal chipped stone tools from the Most Distant Fountain Spring prehistoric site, 24BE1914, near Lemhi Pass in Beaverhead County, Montana, were tested to recover possible protein residues. This site is believed to have functioned as a seasonal upland camp. Diagnostic artifacts reflect the Late Prehistoric period, from about 150 to 1650 A.D. Identification of protein residues from the artifacts' surfaces can provide information concerning use of these artifacts to hunt/process animals.
