“…Second, I recorded surface modifications: toolmarks, weathering (I used the scale in Behrensmeyer 1978 and made the assumption that intrusive rodents were likely to be less weathered than bone deposited by cultural activity), traces of carnivore activity, or burning. And third, I analyzed element completeness, as small mammal elements used by humans as food are generally less complete than those deposited through other means (Hockett and Haws 2002). Based on this analysis, I characterized each specimen's likely origin: intrusive, non-human predator, cultural, or unknown.…”

Subsistence Change Among the 17Th-Century Diné? A Reanalysis of the Faunas from the Fruitland Data Recovery Project

The question of when the Diné (or Navajo) became a distinct ethnic group has been the focus of research for over a century. Recent archaeological work in the Dinetah region of the American Southwest suggests that the Gobernador phase of Diné prehistory –roughly dated from A.D. 1650 to 1780– was a critical period for Diné ethnogenesis. Archaeological faunas from the Fruitland Data Recovery Project have been used to support this argument; these faunas seem to indicate a shift in subsistence from diets focused on small prey to those focused on larger animals between the Dinétah (A.D. 1500–1650) and Gobernador phases. A reanalysis of the Fruitland Project faunas, involving both refitting of bone and attention to taphonomic issues, does show an increase in representation of large prey during the Gobernador phase; however, this trend does not seem to be related to improved hunting efficiency or encounter rates. Rather, the increase may reflect changes in Diné subsistence and mobility in response to climate change.

“…and indirect (demographics, anatomical abundances) indicators (Bicho et al, 2006;Cochard, 2004;Hockett, 1991;Hockett & Haws, 2002;Lloveras et al, 2009;Pérez Ripoll, 2005;Sanchis, 2012;Sanchis et al, 2011;Yravedra, 2008). In the assemblage under analysis, the scarce burn damage is identified mainly in WG1 remains in initial degrees, with other indicators of a possible anthropogenic accumulation (e.g., shaft cylinders and striae) being absent or scant and possibly related to nonhuman agents or processes (Figure 4).…”

The Mesolithic faunal assemblage from Cueva de Los Postes (Badajoz, Spain) is presented and discussed. The faunal remains from different stratigraphic units spatially associated with the Mesolithic funerary use of the cave or preceded them were analyzed. The zooarchaeological record is dominated by leporids, generally rabbit but also hare, scarce mustelids, and undetermined birds. Results indicate that these animals are not associated with the human use of the cave. The relevance of carnivore damage points to an exogenous origin for leporid accumulation. It is inferred that this mixed deposit of scats and non‐ingested remains results from foxes' activity.

“…The dichotomy between these accumulations has previously been observed by several authors (Hockett, 1991(Hockett, , 1995Sanchis, 2000;Cochard, 2004a, b). One hypothesis to explain these differences in the relative abundance of bones is the nature of the site (pellets/aerie) (Hockett, 1991(Hockett, , 1995Hockett and Haws, 2002); nevertheless, this hypothesis has been questioned (Cochard, 2004a). Indeed, in our CA (fig.…”
