STARCH, PHYTOLITH, AND PROTEIN ANALYSIS OF LITHIC SAMPLES FROM SITE 36MG0443, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

Author(s): Chad Yost

Year: 2010

Summary

Site 36MG0443, situated on an upland hilltop in a plowed field in central Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is comprised of a shallow basin containing approximately 300 jasper flakes. Of the features present at the site, Feature 3 yielded radiocarbon dates of approximately 600 and 700 BC and was occupied during the Early Woodland period. Three lithic samples from Feature 3 were submitted for starch, phytolith, and protein analysis. The goal of the analysis was to identify use of these lithic flakes.
