Sourcing the Stone: The Southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia LA-ICP-MS Soapstone chemical Sources<br />
Characterization and Stone Bead Provenience Project.<br />
• Symposium 4 (De Anza North); Thursday, 2:30 PM<br />
This paper will present the final results of the southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia LA-ICP-MS soapstone<br />
chemical source characterization and artifact provenience project. Several years of field and lab<br />
analysis have resulted in the development of a soapstone sourcing methodology that can<br />
successfully distinguish soapstone from the three major southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia source locations: 1)<br />
Catalina Island, 2) Los Angeles (Sierra Pelona); and 3) San Diego. The paper will provide<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation on the analytical techniques involved, demonstrate how the sourcing method works,<br />
and discuss the future of soapstone provenience in the greater southern Cali<strong>for</strong>nia region.<br />

Dietary Reconstruction: A Comparison of Calculus Starch Grains vs. C and N Stable<br />
Isotopes<br />
• Symposium 1 (La Sierra); Thursday, 1:18 PM<br />
Archaeologists have many methods to estimate ancient diet. We compare results from two<br />
different techniques, one based on starch grains extracted from dental calculus and one based on<br />
C and N stable isotope. We applied these techniques to a set of burials recovered from the<br />
Central Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Delta. While starch grains are genera-or species-specific and give in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
on the range of plants consumed, C and N stable isotopes are more general and give in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
about the average source of protein intake.<br />
