Summary

Seven sediment samples from sites FB 5013, FB 5028, and FB 5073, located on the

Fort Bliss Military Reservation in southern New Mexico, were submitted for residue analysis

using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The seven samples were recovered

from five pithouses, a midden, and a thermal feature that were excavated during Project 560-

030. These features are believed to date from the Late Archaic (900 BC to AD 200) to no later

than the Doña Ana phase (AD 1200) of the Jornada Mogollon cultural sequence. Single

samples from each of the three sites also were floated to recover charcoal and other charred

plant remains. Charcoal from each of the three samples was AMS radiocarbon dated to

provide a date for each site. Floatation and FTIR analyses will be used to provide subsistence

information for each site.
