PHYTOLITH, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS FOR SEDIMENTS FROM THE BEEBE ORCHARD SITE, 45CH216, WASHINGTON

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

Year: 2009

Summary

Sediment samples from the Beebe Springs site, 45CH216, were submitted for phytolith, starch, macrofloral, and organic reside (FTIR) analysis. This site is located on the west bank of the Columbia River (Lake Entiat Reservoir), in Chelan County, Washington. This site is a multicomponent site with substantial artifact density. Three prehistoric occupation surfaces have been identified. Mt. Mazama sediments provide a lower-limit date of ca. 6,800 years B.P. Analysis of sediment samples associated with various artifacts and features from this site will provide a better understanding of subsistence practices.
