POLLEN AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS AT SITE 5MT3892, SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO

Seven pollen and three protein residue samples were examined from a kiva
and surface room at Site 5MT3892 in southwestern Colorado. The pollen samples
represent primarily occupational proveniences associated with the occupation of
this site, rather than the final event. Artifacts submitted for protein residue
analysis are believed to have been used in the final event of human butchering
activities associated with dismantlement of the kiva.

本次研究对科罗拉多州西南部5MT3892遗址一处基瓦（kiva）与地表房址内采集的7份花粉样品及3份蛋白质残留物样品开展了检测分析。这些花粉样品主要对应该遗址居住活动相关的原生出土遗存，而非遗址末次使用事件的遗留物。送检用于蛋白质残留物分析的遗物，被推断曾被用于与该基瓦拆除作业相关的人类屠宰活动的末次环节。
