PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF MAULS FROM SITES EJPK-3 AND EGPN-111, ALBERTA, CANADA

Author(s): Chad Yost

Year: 2009

Summary

Two mauls from two different Besant-aged bison kill sites (EjPk-3 and EgPn-111, southern Alberta, Canada) were submitted for protein residue, phytolith and starch grain analysis. The goal of these analyses is to recover and detect plant and animal remains that may be present on the surface of these tools. Such evidence would provide information useful in determining the function of these tools.
