POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE (CIEP) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE BLACK HANK SITE (24RB2339), ROSEBUD COUNTY, MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Jennifer L.B. Milligan

Year: 2016

Summary

The Black Hank Site (24RB2339) consists of a large prehistoric camp along with minimal historic remains in the vicinity of possible foundation stones. The site occupies an irregular area spanning a high terrace and low bench southwest of the confluence of an unnamed ephemeral stream and Black Hank Creek in Rosebud County, Montana. Prehistoric cultural materials at the site include lithics, scattered pieces of oxidized sandstone, and possible fire cracked rock (FCR). Brown glass and a .22 short cartridge comprise the historic artifact assemblage. A sediment sample collected from a unit adjacent to a dish-shaped pit hearth was examined for pollen and phytoliths, and a quartzite scraper was tested for protein residues to identify animals processed.
