CERAMIC AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM THE LEVEE (12D363) AND KELLER (12D509) SITES, DEARBORN COUNTY, INDIANA

Six ceramic sherds from the Levee (12D363) and Keller (12D509) sites in Dearborn County, Indiana were submitted for ceramic and organic residue analysis. Organic residues will be examined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Ceramic and organic residue (FTIR) analysis will be used to provide information regarding foods and other materials processed and/or contained in the vessels represented by these sherds.本次研究共提交印第安纳州迪尔伯恩县Levee遗址（12D363）与Keller遗址（12D509）出土的6件陶片，用于开展陶瓷与有机残留物分析。有机残留物将采用傅里叶变换红外光谱法（Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy，FTIR）进行检测。通过陶瓷与有机残留物（FTIR）分析，可获取这些陶片所代表的容器曾加工和/或盛放的食物及其他物料的相关信息。
