ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE LA5148, LEA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO

Author(s): Melissa K. Logan

Year: 2010

Summary

Site LA 5148, located in the Laguna Plata Archaeological District of Lea County, New Mexico, was examined. The site was situated next to a playa. Groundstone, lithic tools, and ceramics recovered either in subsurface or from the modern surface were submitted for organic residue analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Analysis of organic residues will be used to gain information on paleodiet, specifically foods cooked in ceramic vessels, and materials ground and processed with groundstone and lithic tools.
