ORGANIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS (FTIR) OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 5GF620, GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Melissa K. Logan

Year: 2013

Summary

Feature fill, fire-cracked rock, and a kitchen slab from three hearths at site 5GF620 were submitted for organic residue analysis. Samples were tested using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR analysis provides information concerning the compounds that were extracted from the fill sample, fire-cracked rock, and kitchen slab. 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.
