Summary

Three ground stone artifacts collected at the Akers Ferry site (23SH23), located in the

Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Missouri, were examined to obtain information concerning

plants and/or animals that might have been processed using these tools. This multi-component

site contains features, a midden, and lithic and ceramic artifacts reflecting occupations from the

early Archaic through Missippian Traditions. Each ground stone was large enough to dedicate

a portion of the surface to pollen, starch, phytolith, protein residue, and Fourier Transform

Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) analyses. In addition, two charcoal samples were submitted for

identification.
