PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF LITHIC SAMPLES AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS OF GROUNDSTONE FROM SITE 46KA622, KANAWHA COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA

A single groundstone fragment with a utilized surface from site 46KA622 in Kanawha County, West Virginia, was submitted for organic residue analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Sixteen lithic tools and nine soil control samples also were submitted for protein residue analysis. These analyses will be used to determine possible materials processed with the artifacts.

美国西弗吉尼亚州卡纳瓦县46KA622遗址出土的一件带有使用面的单块磨石碎片，已提交采用傅里叶变换红外光谱（Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy，FTIR）开展有机残留物分析。另有16件石制工具与9件土壤对照样本也被提交用于蛋白质残留物分析。上述分析将用于确定该人工制品曾加工的可能材质。
