PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF SOIL FROM A BELL-SHAPED PIT AT SITE 5LA9187, COLORADO

Summary

Soil around an area of beads in the bottom of a bell-shaped pit (Feature 5) at 5LA9187 in

southeast Colorado was tested for possible protein residues. This soil was tested to determine if

proteins were present to suggest the presence of a now decomposed pouch that might have

contained the beads, as well as to detect any human proteins that would indicate the presence of

a human burial in the pit.
