POLLEN, STARCH, PARASITE, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT FROM THE EVANSTON CHINATOWN HISTORIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE, 48UT1749, WYOMING

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1998

Summary

Sediment samples were collected from a bone bed and an outhouse at the Evanston

Chinatown historic site (48UT1749) in southwest Wyoming. These samples were examined for

evidence of pollen and starch granules that might identify both modern vegetation and food, for

parasite eggs that might indicate parasite infestation, and for protein residues to identify possible

animal proteins present in the sediments. The sample from an outhouse pit also was floated to

recover macrofloral evidence of foods eaten by the privy users.
