POLLEN/STARCH, PROTEIN, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT SITES FB 10017 (LA 97920), FB 10035 (LA 97938), AND FB 10018 (LA 97921) IN THE DONA ANA RANGE, FORT BLISS MILITARY RESERVATION, NEW MEXICO
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2006
Summary
Samples were examined from three sites on the Dona Ana range in the Fort Bliss
Military Reservation, southeast New Mexico. Two mano fragments and a stone ball from site
FB 10017 (LA 97920) were analyzed for pollen/starch and protein residues. Use of ground
stone or other stone tools in processing plants and animals may leave evidence on the artifact
surface. Concentrations of pollen, starches, or protein residues recovered from the artifact
surfaces may represent plants and/or animals that were processed using the tools. In addition,
seeds from this site were sent for identification. A ceramic sherd from FB 10035 (LA 97938)
and a projectile point from FB 10018 (LA 97921) also were analyzed for possible protein
residues.
