PROTEIN RESIDUE, POLLEN, STARCH, AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS OF STONE SAMPLES FROM CAVES 2 AND 5, PAISLEY 5 MILE POINT CAVES, SITE 35LK3400, OREGON

Author(s): Chad Yost; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2010

Summary

A hand stone and 4 slab fragments cut from a large boulder were submitted for protein residue analysis from the Paisley 5 Mile Point Caves, Oregon. Previous work by other researchers has identified the presence of a variety of mammal and fish protein residue and DNA at the Paisley Caves. Because of the age of this site, the suite of protein residue antisera used to test these artifacts included elephant, camel, and horse, representing Late-Pleistocene fauna now extinct in North America. In addition, the hand stone was analyzed for pollen, starch, and phytolith remains.
