PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHIC SAMPLES FROM THE GAULT SITE (41BL323), BELL COUNTY, TEXAS

Author(s): Jennifer L.B. Milligan

Year: 2013

Summary

The Gault site (41BL323) is a large, multicomponent site situated in the valley of a small stream between the Black Prairie region of the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Edwards Plateau ecotones in Bell County, Texas. A nearby chert outcrop was part of what attracted humans to the area. Six lithics were recovered during the 2013 site excavations from a block adjacent to a 1998 excavation where mammoth remains and Clovis tools were exposed. The six lithics were submitted for protein residue analysis in anticipation that positive results will shed light on the subsistence practices of Clovis inhabitants at the Gault site.
