POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF A CERAMIC SHERD FROM THE SUE SITE (5JA421), JACKSON COUNTY, COLORADO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost; Melissa K. Logan
Year: 2009
Summary
Ceramic sherds belonging to a single vessel from the Sue site (5JA421), Jackson
County, Colorado, were submitted for pollen, starch, phytolith, and organic residue analyses to
identify the materials the vessel had contained. Several of the ceramic sherds submitted for
analysis had been labeled with “white out”, ink, and fingernail polish. These products
contaminate the fabric of the ceramic sherd, making it impossible to obtain a signature of the
organic residues contained in the ceramics. Therefore, a sherd that had not been labeled was
selected for Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis.
