ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) AND SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE (SEM) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE PRINCE OF WALES FORT NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, MANITOBA, CANADA

Author(s): Melissa K. Logan; Linda Scott Cummings; R. A. Varney

Year: 2010

Summary

Cork, wood, and glass samples recovered from two barrels and two incomplete bottles at the Prince of Wales Fort National Historic Site in northern Manitoba, Canada, were submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Organic residue analysis is used to provide information regarding the contents of the barrels and two glass bottles. A piece of birch bark bearing a dark red stain from a birch bark container was submitted for identification of this stain. This piece of bark had been conserved and cleaned, making the stain more visible. A flat rock that exhibited a beige to brown coating also was recovered at the site and submitted for analysis of this deposit.
