POLLEN, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF STONE ARTIFACTS FROM THE CA-SDI-5190 SITE COMPLEX, HIDDEN MEADOWS, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost

Year: 2008

Summary

Stone artifacts that include projectile points, metates, and a mano were submitted for pollen, protein residue, and organic residue (FTIR) analysis. These tools were recovered from the CA-SDI-5190 site complex at the Hidden Meadows community of northern San Diego County, California. The site is in an area of granitic bedrock, with drainages nearby. Native vegetation was likely a mix of chaparral and some arboreal species such as oak. Occupation of the site appears to be Late Prehistoric, and of short duration. This analysis may provide information useful in determining what types of plant and animal remains may have been processed using these tools.
