PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF BONE FRAGMENTS FROM THE PINE CREEK SITE, 48SU1041 , WYOMING

Protein residue analysis was conducted on five bone fragments from the Pine Creek site, 48SU1041, in west-central Wyoming. These bone fragments are believed to represent large artiodactyls such as moose, elk, or bison. The bones were submitted for protein residue analysis to determine if they could be further refined into the bison or moose/elk category.

本研究针对怀俄明州中西部48SU1041号松溪遗址出土的5块骨骼碎片开展蛋白质残基分析。据推断，这些骨骼碎片隶属于驼鹿、马鹿或野牛等大型偶蹄目类群，本次分析旨在明确能否将其进一步精准归类至野牛类或驼鹿/马鹿类范畴。
