POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS FOR SITES IN THE ASHLEY NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH

Summary

Samples were collected and examined from multiple prehistoric sites in the Ashley

National Forest of northwestern Utah, including site 42DA145, three rock shelter sites

(42DA836, 42DC1211, and 42DC316) and the Clegg Vessel site. All of the sites have been

associated with the Fremont culture. Soil samples from these sites were analyzed for evidence

of pollen/starches and macrofloral remains, while stone tools from 42DA145 were analyzed for

possible protein residues. Pollen, starch, and macrofloral analyses will be used to provide

subsistence information concerning plant resources utilized by the various occupants of these

sites. Protein residue analysis of stone tools can yield information about use of possible animal

resources.
