POLLEN AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS AT SITE CA-SBR-8251, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Summary

Pollen and protein residue analyses were performed on material washed from

a metate fragment recovered from Site CA-SBR-8251. A soil control sample

recovered from beneath the metate also was analyzed as a control sample for the

protein residue analysis. The site is situated atop Quaternary age deposits

adjacent to the Mojave River, and near Victorville in San Bernardino County,

California. The pollen record can provide information concerning floral

resources available, and perhaps processed by, the former inhabitants of the

area. Protein residue analysis is used to provide insight for possible faunal

resources that were processed on the metate.
