POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, PROTEIN, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM PROJECT 570-004 (FB 223, FB 9153), DONA ANA COUNTY, FORT BLISS MILITARY INSTALLATION, EL PASO, TEXAS

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

Year: 2009

Summary

Groundstone, utilized flakes, and sediment samples from sites FB 223 and FB 9153 on the Fort Bliss Military Installation in Dona Ana County, El Paso, Texas were submitted for pollen, starch, phytolith, protein, and organic residue analysis. Organic residues are identified using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The primary goal for analyzing these artifacts is recovery of evidence of food processing.
