POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF STONE TOOLS FROM SITES 5BL121 AND 5BL184, ROLLINS PASS, COLORADO

Author(s): Chad Yost; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2011

Summary

Stone tools from two sites within the Rollins Pass study area were submitted for pollen, starch, phytolith, and protein residue analyses. The study area lies along the Continental Divide west of the city of Nederland, Colorado. This area is known for its extensive complex of game drive systems. Two ground stone tools, a mano and metate from site 5BL121, were submitted for pollen, starch, and protein residue analyses. An edge-ground mano recovered from site 5BL184 was submitted for protein residue analysis. The goal of these analyses was to better understand what plant and animal resources were processed with these tools.
