PROTEIN, ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR), POLLEN, STARCH, AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 11PK1702, ILLINOIS

Author(s): Chad Yost; Melissa K. Logan; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2009

Summary

Forty artifacts from site 11PK1702 in Bay Creek valley, Pike County, western Illinois, were submitted for ethnobotanic analyses. Twenty-two lithic tools were analyzed for protein, and fourteen ceramic sherds, two hammerstones, and two groundstones were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Pollen, starch, and phytolith analysis were also performed on two of the ceramic sherds. Site 11PK1702 represents a special function lithic workshop with intensive prehistoric occupation spanning from the late Archaic through the late Woodland period.
