PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION, AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM THE AMANDA’S TERRACE SITE (8HG1312), HIGHLANDS COUNTY, FLORIDA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Peter Kováčik

Year: 2017

Summary

The Amanda’s Terrace Site (8HG1312), a prehistoric lithic scatter, is located in the Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge in Highlands County, Florida. Eight lithic artifacts including two flake tools, a reshaped biface/knife, a possible Paleoindian fluted point, and four points dating to the Early and Middle Archaic periods (Doug MacDonald, personal communication April 12, 2017) were submitted for protein residue analysis using counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP). In addition, charcoal identification and subsequent AMS radiocarbon age determination were requested for one charcoal sample. Submitted charcoal is expected to be between 3000 and 6000 years old.
