PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHICS FROM SITES 42TO3142, 42TO5561, 42TO5562, 42TO5564, ORB IO (DPGIF), AND EAST REDDEN 1 (ER-1), TOOELE COUNTY, UTAH

Six Paleoindian sites were recorded in the Old River Bed (ORB) area and the Redden Springs area of Dugway Proving Ground, Tooele County, Utah. These open artifact scatters contained lithic tools, flakes, and cores produced from a variety of materials including finegrained volcanic rock (obsidian or basalt), chert, limestone, and quartzite. Fifteen lithic tools and four sediment control samples from the sites were submitted for protein residue analysis.美国犹他州图埃勒县达格韦试验场的旧河床（Old River Bed, ORB）区域与雷登斯普林斯区域内，共记录到6处古印第安（Paleoindian）遗址。这些露天人工制品散布点出土的石制工具、石片与石核，其原料涵盖细粒火山岩（黑曜石或玄武岩）、燧石、石灰岩以及石英岩等多种材质。研究人员从上述遗址中选取15件石制工具与4份沉积物对照样本，送检开展蛋白质残留物分析。
