POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PROTEIN ANALYSIS, CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION, FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (FTIR), AND XRF ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES IN PLATTE COUNTY, WYOMING

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Peter Kováčik; B. Lee Drake

Year: 2017

Summary

Multiple archaeological sites located within the boundaries of the Camp Guernsey

Installation provided ceramics, lithics, and sediment sample for pollen, phytolith, starch, protein, and/or macrofloral analysis, and/or for infrared analysis of organic chemicals and/or XRF analysis of elements (Table 1). Obsidian flakes submitted from three sites were sourced using XRF elemental analysis. Charcoal identified from three locations was AMS radiocarbon dated.
