ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN RESIDUE AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) OF A PROJECTILE POINT FRAGMENT FROM SITE 41EP1026, AS WELL AS IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF CHARRED MATERIAL FROM FEATURE FILL AT SITES 41EP1026, 41EP1623, 41EP1633, AND 41EP1720, ON THE FORT BLISS MILITARY RESERVATION, TEXAS

Summary
The floated light fractions from the fill of carbon stains and unknown structures at sites 41EP1026, 41EP1623, 41EP1633, and 41EP1720 were submitted identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. In addition, a projectile point fragment was examined for protein residues and organic residues, the latter using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These sites are located on Fort Bliss Military Reservation in El Paso County, Texas, and represent small, open air camps believed to date to the Formative occupation of the area (A.D. 200-1450).
