PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF POTTERY SHERDS FROM SITE 24RB1606, MONTANA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1994

Summary

Two small pottery sherds from Site 24RB1606 were analyzed for possible

blood proteins. In addition, a soil sample from the site surface was tested to

provide a control for the sherds. Immunological studies have shown that blood

residues from a tool's surface can be identified using modified forensic

procedures. Protein residue analysis is used to supplement prehistoric

subsistence information. Specifically, these sherds were tested to identify any

animal products that may have been stored in the vessels.
