POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF CERAMIC SHERDS AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF MAMMAL BONE FROM THE LOWER FORT GARY NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, MANITOBA, CANADA

Ceramic sherds from a single vessel were submitted for pollen, phytolith and organic residue analysis, along with mammal bone fragments for AMS radiocarbon dating. The ceramic sherds were tested for organic reside using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to determine materials the vessel contained.

本次送检的样本包含取自单一件容器的陶片，用于开展花粉、植硅体（phytolith）与有机残留物分析；同时附带哺乳动物骨骼碎片，用于加速器质谱放射性碳定年（AMS radiocarbon dating）。研究人员采用傅里叶变换红外光谱（Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR）对该批陶片的有机残留物进行检测，以明确该容器曾盛装的物质。
