PHYTOLITH, STARCH, PROTEIN RESIDUE (CIEP), AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 21-85, LITCHFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2018

Summary

Site 21-85 is located within the Western New England Marble Valley subzone with the Vermont Valley extending north towards Massachusetts. The site is situated in Canaan, County Lichfield, Connecticut on the edge of Robbins Swamp. Robbins Swamp was important to Native Americans during the pre-contact period as an ecological and cultural resource. Four soil control samples for 16 lithics from a various depths and units were submitted for protein analysis. Additionally, three ceramic samples were submitted for FTIR analysis of chemical residues, and two of the ceramic samples also were examined for phytoliths and starch.
