The protein residue is interesting. It was borrowed from technology developed in criminal case studies. Apparently each blood serum grouping leaves a pretty identifiable signature. They use a chemical wash to get it. You get a list of serum matches that are to things like
Chicken
Bovine
Dog
Rat
Guinea Pig
Deer
Chicken means it was grouse or something, bovine is eastern woodland bison (for which there was one match), guinea pig relates to small rodents other than rat eg woodchuck or squirrel. there were bison in PA in the 1600s.
I was meeting with a statistician today who is going to tell me from which source they ot the chert present at the site.
