POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A STEATITE BOWL FROM HORSETOOTH RESERVOIR, COLORADO
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Chad Yost; Melissa K. Logan; Kathryn Puseman
Year: 2012
Summary
A steatite bowl found at Horsetooth Reservoir, northern Colorado, was washed to
recover pollen, phytoliths, and starches. An area of thin residue from the interior of the bowl was examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Charred residue from the bowl exterior also was examined for organic residues and was submitted for AMS radiocarbon dating.
