PHYTOLITH, STARCH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSES FOR SAMPLES FROM THE SPLIT SITE EAST (36BU0449), BUCKS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Caitlin A. Clark

Summary

Located in Buck County, Pennsylvania, the Split Site (36BU0449) is situated in a diabase boulder field, perched above extensive wetlands draining into Ridge Valley Creek. The site is divided into eastern and western halves by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension, which destroyed portions of the archaeological site during construction in the 1950s (Joel Dworsky, personal communication, November 5, 2019). The eastern half (Split Site East) produced a high volume of archaeological materials and cultural features. Eight projectile points and two stone cobble tools were recovered from the A and AB Horizons. The cobble tools and the projectile points were submitted for phytolith/starch and protein residue analyses, respectively, to determine what plants and animals were processed in the eastern half of the site.
