ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 48SW17323, SWEETWATER COUNTY, WYOMING

Author(s): Melissa K. Logan

Year: 2011

Summary

Fill and fire-modified sandstone from three hearths at site 48SW17323, a prehistoric camp, located in the central portion of the Greater Green River basin in Sweetwater County, Wyoming was submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Organic residue analysis provides information concerning the compounds that were extracted from the fill and fire-modified rock samples and through matches with our reference library of raw and processed plants, information concerning foods that might have been processed in association with hearths at this site.
