PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHIC ARTIFACTS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF BONE FOR SITES FROM WILLISTON LAKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Author(s): Chad Yost; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2011

Summary

Four Paleoindian lithic tools from Williston Lake, located in northern British Columbia, were submitted for protein residue analysis. The goal of this analysis was to extract and identify any blood residues that might be present on the surfaces of these tools. A calcined bone fragment from a hearth feature was also submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.
