PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS ON A SMOOTHING STONE FROM SITE HdSd-371:606 AT DAVIS FLATS NORTH, WILLISTON LAKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Archaeological assemblages in the Davis Flats North area, near the Williston Reservoir, Peace River Regional District, British Columbia, represent occupations spanning the early Holocene and recent occupations. Site HdSd-371:606 is situated on the western bank of a dendritic channel that bisects a large glaciolacustrian land form. Erosion due to the reservoir has impacted the site, and archaeological materials in the area likely do not reflect accurate depositional provenience. Artifacts have been exposed to wind, water, sunlight, and dust storms (Roger Eldridge, personal communication July 14, 2015). A large diorite smoothing stone associated with Site HdSd-371:606 was recovered from the modern ground surface and submitted for protein residue analysis.不列颠哥伦比亚省和平河地区威尔斯顿水库周边的戴维斯北平原片区内的考古遗存，涵盖了全新世早期至近现代的人类活动遗留。HdSd-371:606号遗址坐落于一条分割大型冰湖相地貌的树枝状水道西岸。水库侵蚀已对该遗址造成破坏，区域内的考古材料大概率无法反映其真实的沉积出土地层与来源。出土器物暴露于风、水、日光与沙尘暴环境中（罗杰·埃尔德里奇，2015年7月14日私人交流）。与HdSd-371:606号遗址相关的一件大型闪长岩打磨石，于现代地表被采集并送检以开展蛋白质残留物分析。
