STARCH, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES OF SAMPLES FROM SITES LA 72399 AND LA 118226, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO

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

Summary

Hearth fill samples recovered from sites LA 72399 and LA 118226 in Eddy County, New Mexico, were submitted for starch, macrofloral, and organic residue analyses. A small ceramic sherd from LA 72399 also was examined for organic residues. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Starch, macrofloral, and organic residue analyses provide information on culturally utilized materials, specifically those related to diet, including foods processed in association with thermal features and ceramics at these sites.
