PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE MOST DISTANT SPRING FOUNTAIN SITE, 24BE1914, MONTANA
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2004
Summary
Nine formal chipped stone tools from the Most Distant Fountain Spring prehistoric site,
24BE1914, near Lemhi Pass in Beaverhead County, Montana, were tested to recover possible
protein residues. This site is believed to have functioned as a seasonal upland camp. Diagnostic
artifacts reflect the Late Prehistoric period, from about 150 to 1650 A.D. Identification of protein
residues from the artifacts' surfaces can provide information concerning use of these artifacts to
hunt/process animals.
