Early Hunter-Gatherer Tool Use and Animal Exploitation: Protein and Microwear Evidence from the Central Savannah River Valley
Open AccessChristopher R Moore, Mark J Brooks et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2016Cited by: 3References: 38
Results of protein residue and lithic microwear analyses are reported for Paleoindian and Early Archaic stone tools from a Carolina bay sand rim on the Aiken Plateau of South Carolina, USA. Protein residue analysis is performed using crossover Immunoelectrophoresis (CIEP), and indicates positive results for Bovidae, Cervidae, Galliformes, and Meleagris gallopavo. These results are complemented by a larger immunological study of 135 diagnostic haf…

Identification of Horse Exploitation by Clovis Hunters Based on Protein Analysis
Open AccessBrian Kooyman, Margaret E Newman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2001Cited by: 14References: 8
Positive results were obtained from protein residue analysis on three Clovis points from Wally's Beach, southwestern Alberta. Two tested positive for Equus, the third for a bovid, probably Bison or Bootherium. All genera are present in the site remains. This finding clearly demonstrates use of Equus by Clovis hunters. Four 14C dates indicate that the site was in use between 11,000 and 11,300 B.P
Response to Critique of the Claim of Cannibalism at Cowboy Wash
Open AccessPatricia M Lambert, Banks L Leonard et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2000Cited by: 2References: 8
The original authors of Billman et al. (2000) are joined by three other analysts from the Cowboy Wash research team to respond to the critique of this article by Dongoske et al. (2000). Dongoske and his coauthors state that Billman et al. (2000) failed to test alternative hypotheses or to consider alternative explanations for the findings at 5MT10010 and similar sites. The original authors point out that alternative hypotheses were examined and r…

Blood Protein Residues on Lithic Artifacts from Two Archaeological Sites in the De Long Mountains, Northwestern Alaska
Open AccessS Craig Gerlach, Margaret E Newman et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1996
Immunological analysis of blood residues was performed on 25 lithic artifacts from two archaeological sites (DEL-166 and DEL-168) in the De Long Mountains of northwestern Alaska. Blood residues occur on five artifact types: retouched flakes; end scrapers; flake burins; bifaces; and wedge-shaped microblade cores. Fourteen (56%) of the 25 analyzed artifacts react positively to six animal antisera and to human blood. Besides human blood, identified …
The use of immunological techniques in the analysis of archaeological materials — a response to Eisele; with report of studies at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
Open AccessMargaret E Newman, Howard Ceri et al.ARTICLEAntiquity1996Cited by: 13References: 3
Eisele et al. in ANTIQUITY (1995) reported discouraging results from experiments to see if blood traces reliably survive on stone tools. Here, issue is taken with aspects of that study, and new research is reported from the celebrated buffalo-jump at Head-Smashed-In, southern Alberta. The great bone-bed there, consisting almost exclusively of bison bones, gives rare opportunity to study remains of a known single species under the genuine conditio…
Blood as a Binding Medium in a Chumash Indian Pigment Cake
Open AccessDavid Scott, D A Scott et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry1996Cited by: 5References: 14
As part of a study of Chumash Indian pigments, some black pigment cakes have been examined. One pigment cake was characterized as soot by polarized light microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared microscopy showed that the binder was proteinaceous. Protein determination was followed by examination using gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry analysis which showed a characteristic suite of amino acids to be present, proportionally similar to blood.…
Immunological and Microwear Analysis of Chipped-Stone Artifacts from Piedmont Contexts
Open AccessM D Petraglia, Michael Petraglia et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1996Cited by: 5References: 20
Immunological and microwear analysis was performed on 100 chipped-stone artifacts from four prehistoric sites located in the Virginia Piedmont. A total of 20 artifacts returned positive results for immunological analysis and 16 artifacts returned microwear results. The findings indicate the negative effects of postdepositional processes and the potential utility of the techniques for deciphering prehistoric activities, otherwise unavailable by co…

Immunological Identification of Small-Mammal Proteins on Aboriginal Milling Equipment
Open AccessRobert M Yohe, Margaret E Newman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1991Cited by: 31References: 11
Ethnographic accounts of animal pulverization using stone grinding implements have led archaeologists to believe that this same behavior took place in the past. This important subsistence activity can now be confirmed through the immunological analysis of archaeological materials. Small-mammal blood-protein residue has been identified immunologically for the first time on milling equipment from two archaeological sites in southern California. Imm…
