PROTEIN AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM SITES EFOO 146 AND EGOP 5 FOR THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE PROJECT, SOUTHERN ALBERTA, CANADA

Five lithic artifacts and three hearth fill samples from sites EfOo 146 and EgOp 5, discovered during the Keystone Pipeline Project in southern Alberta, Canada were submitted for protein and/or organic residue analyses (Table 1). A single hearth sample from site EfOo 146 was examined for organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), while ten samples were tested for organic residues and/or protein residues using immunoelectrophoresis.
