PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS (CIEP) OF PALEOINDIAN LITHICS FROM THE KLEIN SITE, SHIAWASSEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN

The Klein Site is a Paleo Indian site of the Parkhill Phase (ca. 11,000 to 10,500 BP) located in the upper Great Lakes, Shiawassee County, Michigan (William Lovis, personal communication December 4, 2015). Lithic artifacts including point/knife and other biface fragments were recovered by property owners from the top 20 cm of their garden. Nine biface fragments recovered from clayey silts and associated sediment control samples were selected from the assemblage for protein residue (CIEP) analysis.克莱因遗址（Klein Site）是一处隶属于帕克希尔期（Parkhill Phase，距今约11000至10500年）的古印第安人遗址，坐落于美国密歇根州希亚瓦西县的大湖上游区域（威廉·洛维斯，2015年12月4日私人通信）。石质遗物包括尖状器、刀具及其他双面器碎片，均由土地所有者从其花园的表层20厘米土层中采集得到。研究人员从黏土质粉砂及相关沉积物对照样品中出土的9件双面器碎片中，选取样本开展蛋白质残留物（CIEP）分析。
