Key Points
The research aims to analyze the residues on an adze and a projectile point to understand their historical usage.
Conducted protein residue analysis on both tools.
Performed phytolith analysis on the adze.
Executed starch analysis on the adze.
Identified specific proteins indicating the potential use of the tools.
Detected phytoliths suggesting vegetation interaction with the tools.
Found starch residues hinting at dietary connections.
Abstract
An adze and a projectile point recovered on private land at Sny Bottom, Illinois were submitted for protein residue analysis. The adze also was designated for phytolith and starch analysis.
