PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS, ORGANIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS (FTIR), CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF ARTIFACTS AND BOTANICAL REMAINS FROM SITE 46BO419, BOONE COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA

Summary
Samples from site 46BO419, Boone County, West Virginia were submitted for archaeobotanical and AMS radiocarbon dating analysis. Ceramic, lithic, and other stone tool artifacts were analyzed for protein residues (cross over immunoelectrophoresis) and organic residues (FTIR). Charred botanical remains were submitted for charcoal identification and AMS radiocarbon dating. Results of these analyses have the potential to increase the understanding of Early Archaic through Late Woodland periods in southwestern West Virginia, particularly concerning floral and faunal subsistence.
