University of Nevada, Reno Starch Residue Analysis from Two High University of Nevada, Reno Starch Residue Analysis from Two High Altitude Village Locations: High Rise Village, Wyoming and the White Mountain Village Sites, California A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology by Amanda M. Rankin Dr. Christopher T. Morgan/Thesis Advisor August, 2016 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by AMANDA M. RANKIN Entitled Starch Residue Analysis from Two High Altitude Village Locations: High Rise Village, Wyoming and the White Mountain Village Sites, California be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Dr. Christopher T. Morgan, Advisor Dr. Dave Rhode, Committee Member Dr Robert Watters, Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School August, 2016 i Abstract Starch residue analysis, ground stone, and use-wear analysis on milling equipment from High Rise Village and the White Mountain Village sites reveals a subsistence system that included geophyte processing at high elevation. High altitude residential use is little understood in North America and has often been thought to relate to intensive pine nut exploitation. This research indicates that this is not the case, and that geophytes were a targeted resource at high elevation. A closer look at the archaeological record in the two regions reveals that root processing was a common occurrence in nearby lowland regions and that high altitude villages may fit into this broader regional pattern of geophyte processing, a fact that has been overlooked by archaeologists and ethnographers alike, and something starch residue analysis is well suited to demonstrate. ii Dedication To my family who have always supported me, and most of all to my mother who was my greatest support, editor, and cheerleader. I wish you were here to see me finish. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Nevada Archaeological Association for the 2014 Student Research Grant to conduct my research, the UNR Department of Anthropology for the 2014 William Self award, Dr. Dave Rhode at Desert Research Institute for teaching me the process of starch residue extraction and analysis and for letting me use the facilities, Dr. Christopher Morgan for allowing me to use the High Rise Village assemblage, and Dr. Robert Bettinger for allowing me access to the White Mountain collections, and for the tour of the White Mountain Village sites. Thank you to Shaun Richey for all the love and support as well as help with editing. Finally, thank you to my graduate cohort for all fun amid the stress. Portions of this project were funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (Grant No. BCS-1302054); the continued support of the American public for scientific archaeological research is greatly appreciated. iv Table of Contents ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................................................

  • Archaeological Starch Preservation and Methodological Parameters: Where Does Qaraqara Fit?
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL STARCH PRESERVATION AND METHODOLOGICAL PARAMETERS: WHERE DOES QARAQARA FIT? Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Nicole Marie Hernandez, B.A. Department of Anthropology The Ohio State University 2015 Master’s Committee: Professor Julie S. Field, Advisor Professor Kristen J. Gremillion Professor Robert Cook Copyright by Nicole Marie Hernandez 2015 ABSTRACT Starch granule analysis is a relatively new methodology that can aid in various areas of archaeological research, including the determination of subsistence patterns and transitions, mobility, tool use, and ecology. This study examines undecorated ceramic fragments recovered from Qaraqara, Fiji for the presence of adhered starch. Although the three starch extraction methods used were not successful, the research process provides an opportunity to explain the lack of success by investigating ideal archaeological starch preservation parameters and extraction methodologies. Many factors contribute to the rarity of preserved starch granules in archaeological settings, including its bio-chemical structure, the decomposition of microorganisms in soil, chemical interactions, and environmental conditions. To determine ideal environmental conditions for starch preservation, successful extraction methods, and the effect of archaeological materials on success rates for extraction, a meta-analysis was conducted on a sample of archaeological studies that also sought to extract preserved starch. Key environmental variables that support the preservation of starch were identified, including a specific range of average temperatures, rainfall amounts, and altitudes. Using chi-square statistical tests, this study determined that an average temperature of 19-22° C significantly contributes to the preservation of archaeological starch.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report
    Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon.

In this article, we give a brief overview of the most frequently used methods, techniques, and results. Furthermore, we give insights in the isolation, purification, and fragmentation of both starch and glycogen. An overview of the different structural levels of the glucans is given and the corresponding analytical techniques are discussed. Moreover, future perspectives of the analytical needs and the challenges of the currently developing scientific questions are included. Keywords: starch; glycogen; analytics 1. Introduction Today, several techniques for the analysis of complex carbohydrates exist, though a single all-embracing method is lacking. All methods provide information about glycan samples, but along with this knowledge, there is unfortunately also a partial loss of specific information. As an example, very large and complex glycans can be analyzed only following partial fragmentation.
