STARCH ANALYSIS OF FEATURE 5, 48CR6488, OVERLAND PASS PIPELINE PROJECT, WYOMING

Site 49CR7399 is a prehistoric campsite located north of Hogback Lake and just east of the Continental Divide in Carbon County, Wyoming. Sediment samples were collected from the edge of Feature 5, a thermal feature, to recover any starches present that might indicate what plants were processed, and from sediment from the side of the feature to be used as a control sample in interpreting the starch record associated with the feature.49CR7399号史前营地遗址坐落于美国怀俄明州卡本县霍格巴克湖以北、大陆分水岭东侧。研究人员从5号热特征遗迹（Feature 5）的边缘采集沉积物样品，以提取其中留存的淀粉粒，用于推断该遗址曾加工利用的植物种类；同时从该遗迹侧面采集沉积物样品作为对照样本，以辅助解读该遗迹关联的淀粉粒记录。
