ORGANIC RESIDUE ANALYSIS (FTIR) OF BOILING STONES FROM CARL’S CAVE, 24LC0242, LEWIS AND CLARK COUNTY, MONTANA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2019

Summary

Carl’s Cave (Site 24LC0242) is located on the east side of Holter Lake near the entrance to the Gates of the Mountain, Lewis and Clark County, Montana. This shallow cave is situated in a limestone outcrop approximately 8 meters above the lake (Dr. Lauri Travis, personal communication, September 3, 2019). Multiple flakes and boiling stones were recovered from the interior of the cave. Two boiling stones were selected for organic residue (FTIR) analysis to determine if the stones retained an organic signature of their use.
