POLLEN AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS FOR SITES 10CM294, 10EL840, 10GG137, 10GG325, 10GG480, AND 10GG702, SOUTHERN IDAHO

Summary
A total of 14 artifacts were found on the surface and in looters' backdirt piles at six sites
on land owned by the Shoshone Bureau of land Management (BlM) field office. These sites
are located in Camas, Elmore, and Gooding Counties in south-central Idaho. A mano, three
pestles, and five pieces of groundstone were washed for pollen and starches to provide
information concerning processing of plant resources. Six soil samples were examined for
pollen to provide control samples for the artifacts and/or paleoenvironmental data. Two
teshoas, a scraper, a scraper/teshoa, and a projectile point were analyzed for possible protein
residues to determine animal resources that were processed with these tools. Four of the
pollen soil samples provided protein residue controls.
