POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS FOR SITES IN THE ASHLEY NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Jaime Dexter
Year: 2005
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.
