Summary

Pollen, phytolith, macrofloral, and/or protein residue analyses were conducted on two

grinding surfaces and sediment from a hopper mortar at the Mortar Riddle Site, 35HA2627, in

southeast Oregon. Pollen, phytolith, macrofloral, and protein residue analysis analyses are used

to provide information concerning types of resources that were processed using this mortar. It was

suspected that this piece of ground stone was used for processing animal products as well as plant
