POLLEN/STARCH, PROTEIN, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT SITES FB 10017 (LA 97920), FB 10035 (LA 97938), AND FB 10018 (LA 97921) IN THE DONA ANA RANGE, FORT BLISS MILITARY RESERVATION, NEW MEXICO

Summary

Samples were examined from three sites on the Dona Ana range in the Fort Bliss

Military Reservation, southeast New Mexico. Two mano fragments and a stone ball from site

FB 10017 (LA 97920) were analyzed for pollen/starch and protein residues. Use of ground

stone or other stone tools in processing plants and animals may leave evidence on the artifact

surface. Concentrations of pollen, starches, or protein residues recovered from the artifact

surfaces may represent plants and/or animals that were processed using the tools. In addition,

seeds from this site were sent for identification. A ceramic sherd from FB 10035 (LA 97938)

and a projectile point from FB 10018 (LA 97921) also were analyzed for possible protein

residues.
