ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF FEATURE FILL FROM A ROCK-FILLED THERMAL BASIN AT SITE 42GR1014, UTAH
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Melissa K. Logan
Year: 2013
Summary
Fill from a deflated rock-filled thermal basin at site 42GR1014 in far east-central Utah was submitted for organic residue analysis. This sample was tested for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR analysis provides information concerning the compounds that were extracted from the fill sample. Information concerning foods that might have been processed in association with thermal features is derived from matches with our reference library of processed plants and animals, while information concerning the environment is inferred from matches with our reference library of raw plants and animals.
