POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS FOR SITES 42WS4113 AND 42WS4115,UTAH

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2006

Summary

Pollen, phytolith, and protein residue samples were recovered from Sites 42Ws4115

and 42Ws4113 in southwest Utah. These sites represent artifact scatters containing lithic tools,

groundstone, and debitage. A mano from 42Ws4115 was washed to recover pollen, starches,

and phytoliths to determine plant resources that might have been processed using the mano. A

soil control in the vicinity of the mano and a general site soil control also were examined. A

projectile point fragment from 42Ws4115 and a projectile point base from 42Ws4113 were

analyzed for possible protein residues to provide information concerning animals that might

have been hunted/processed with these tools.
