POLLEN/STARCH, MACROFLORAL, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS AT SITES 32ME258, 32ME263, 32ME264, 32ME266, 32ME717, AND 32ME1261 IN THE FREEDOM MINE AREA 2 NORTH, WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Summary
Samples from six sites in the Freedom Mine Area 2 North, Mercer County, North
Dakota, were submitted for pollen/starch, macrofloral, charcoal identification, and/or protein
residue analyses. These six sites contain stone rings and are believed to represent habitation
sites. Pollen and/or macrofloral analysis of hearth fill samples from sites 32ME264 and
32ME717 will be used to provide information concerning plant resources utilized by the
prehistoric occupants of these sites. Charcoal samples from sites 32ME263, 32ME717, and
32ME1261 were submitted for identification prior to radiocarbon dating. Lithic artifacts from five
of the six sites were analyzed for possible protein residues.
