ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) AND AMS RADIOCARBON AGE DETERMINATION OF SAMPLES FROM TURNER FARM SITE, 29.9, EDDINGTON BEND SITE, 74-8, AND HIRUNDO SITE, 73-9, KNOX AND PENOBSCOT COUNTIES, MAINE
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings
Year: 2020
Summary
Eight ceramic sherds were recovered from three archaeological sites that included Turner Farm (29.9), Eddington Bend (74-8), and Hirundo (73-9). Five sherds from Turner Farm contained sufficient charred food crust for AMS radiocarbon dating. Of these, four qualified for financial support from an NSF grant (No. 1659988) to examine use of different chemical pre-treatment on charred food crust. In addition, all eight ceramic samples were examined for their chemical signatures using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis.
