PROTEIN AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF CRESCENTS FROM THE DUGWAY PROVING GROUND AND SITE 42MD2620, UTAH

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

Year: 2009

Summary

Three stone crescents were submitted for protein and organic residue analysis. Two of the crescents were found in the Older River Bed delta on the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, and one was recovered from site 42MD2620 in the Cove Creek area in Utah. Crescents were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and protein residues using cross-over immunoelectrophoresis. The crescents are thought to have been used for harvesting cattail, and it is hoped evidence of this plant material will be found on the tools.
