BLOOD RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE SPOKANE AND LITTLE SPOKANE RIVERS, WASHINGTON,
Author(s): Margaret E. Newman
Year: 1990
Summary
Recent studies or protein residues on archaeological stone tools have demonstrated that not only fo such proteins survive for long periods of time, but that identification is possible. Through the use of immunological and bio-chemical analyses, residues which adhered to a tool's surface during it's original use, can be identified to at least the family level. Such information can provide a greater knowledge of prehistoric subsistence and possibly identify artifacts used for specific tasks.
