PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS, ORGANIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS (FTIR), AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING AT SITE GDON-18, ALBERTA, CANADA

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost

Year: 2009

Summary

Protein residue analysis, organic residue analysis (FTIR), charcoal identification and/or AMS radiocarbon dating was conducted on several projectile points, ceramic, bone, and charcoal fragments from site GDON-18, near the eastern border of Alberta, Canada. The site is situated along the shore of Cold Lake, on a terrace of course sand. Vegetation in the area is generally comprised of boreal trees and shrubs, and associated understory plants. Residue analysis should provide some animal and plant subsistence information. Dating of charcoal and bone fragments will provide a better understanding of the occupation sequence, as well as

stratigraphic and contextual integrity.
