PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHIC ARTIFACTS FROM SITES HIOV80, HIOV16, HIOV83, HIOV126, AND HIOV92, FOR THE FORT HILLS 2008 MITIGATION (FMA PROJECT 115708.MI08), ALBERTA, CANADA

Author(s): Chad Yost

Year: 2009

Summary

A total of nine stone artifacts were submitted for protein residue analysis from sites Hi0v80, HiOv16, HiOv83, HiOv126, and HiOv92, located in northern Alberta, Canada. Archaeological activities are related to the 2008 Fort Hills mitigation (FMA Project 115708.MI08). These sites are within the Central Mixedwood Natural Subregion of the Boreal Forest Region. Previous analysis of artifacts from this region have yielded a high rate of positive protein residue results, likely due to the predominantly cool climate and low biological activity in the soil. The goal of the present analysis is to gain a better understanding of animal subsistence at these sites.
