STARCH ANALYSIS BLIND TEST OF GROUNDSTONE AND SOIL FROM SITE 48SW16996, SWEETWATER COUNTY, WYOMING
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2013
Summary
Two groundstone and one replicate hearth or roasting pit fill sample were submitted as a blind test for starch analysis. The groundstone were used to crush or grind botanics collected in southwestern Wyoming and identified by Abbie Harrison, macrobotanist at Alpine Archaeological Consultants, Inc. Economic activity meant to replicate that associated with a hearth or roasting pit provided the control sample from this type of a feature. Starch analysis of these samples was undertaken to provide information concerning starches expected to accompany similar activities in prehistory.
