BLOOD RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE MULE CANYON PROJECT, NEVADA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1993

Summary

Numerous artifacts from several sites in the Mule Canyon Project area of northern Nevada were analyzed for possible blood proteins. In addition, soil samples from site surfaces were tested to provide controls for the artifacts. Imnunological studies have shown that blood residues from a tool's surface can be identified using modified forensic procedures. Blood residue analysis is used to provide prehistoric subsistence information and possible artifact specificity.
