PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE PUNCHEON RUN SITE, 7K-C-51, DELAWARE

Author(s): Kathryn Puseman; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2009

Summary

A total of 83 lithic artifacts from the Puncheon Run site (7K-C-51) in Dover, Delaware, were submitted for protein residue analysis. Previous studies have shown that protein residues from a tool's surface can be identified using a modified forensic procedure. Site 7K-C-51 contains several discrete activity areas, with diagnostic artifacts datable from Middle Archaic to Late Woodland contexts. Lithic artifacts and soil controls from this site were tested against eight fish antisera and five animal antisera to determine possible fish and animal resources that might have been utilized by the various occupants of the site.
