PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF CLOVIS POINTS AND GREAT BASIN POINTS FROM SITES 42MD2502, 42MD2604, 42MD2620, 42MD2679, 42MD2645, AND 42MD3076, MILLARD COUNTY, UTAH

Eight Clovis and four Great Basin Stemmed projectile points and bases were submitted for protein (blood) residue analysis. These artifacts were associated with lithic scatters recovered from six sites, all affected by moderate to severe wildland fire intensity and wind deflation of sediments. The goal of this study is to detect protein residues associated with the use of these artifacts.
