POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, PROTEIN RESIDUE, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES ALONG NINE MILE CANYON, UTAH

Author(s): Peter Kováčik; Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman; Cody Dalpra; Jennifer L.B. Milligan

Year: 2013

Summary

Fill samples from various features at sites along Nine Mile Canyon in northeast Utah were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. Two projectile points were tested for protein residues to determine animal resources that might have been hunted using these tools. Seven pieces of fire-cracked rock (FCR) were examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Radiocarbon dates, rock art, artifact assemblages, and the presence of corn indicate that many of the sites represent Fremont occupation of the canyon. The various analyses will provide subsistence information concerning plant and possible animal resources used by the various occupants of the sites.
