POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, STARCH, MACROFLORAL, ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION (XRF), AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF A STONE PIPE FROM THE JUNCTION SITE, DkPi-2, ALBERTA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Paul M. Miller

Year: 2018

Summary

A stone pipe fragment was recovered by Lifeways of Canada from the Junction Site (Site DkPi-2), near the junction of Hwy 2 and Crowsnest Highway, 3 km west of Fort MacLeod in southern Alberta, Canada. Given its association with other cultural materials, Lifeways of Canada suggest affiliation with the Old Women’s Phase. Lifeways of Canada submitted the stone pipe fragment to PaleoResearch for pollen, phytolith, starch, macrofloral, Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elemental composition analysis.
