Evaluating Native American Bird Use and Bird Assemblage Variability along the Oregon Coast

Abstract: Native American use of birds on the Oregon coast is not well known and has never been synthesized to present a regional understanding. We rectify this by analyzing data from 26 zooarchaeological assemblages, including three previously unpublished bird assemblages: Umpqua/Eden (35DO83), Whale Cove (35LNC60), and the Dunes Site (35CLT27). We employ a series of non-parametric randomization tests to directly evaluate patterns of taxonomic diversity, correlations with nearby breeding colonies, and broader procureme… Show more

“…To measure taxonomic diversity, we used the reciprocal of the Simpson Index (Krebs 1989), which focuses on the equitability of abundances across taxa. Across groups of sites, this measure is often performed at the taxonomic level of families in an attempt to regularize across the varying identification methods used by different investigators (e.g., Bovy et al 2019). Because the anatid family encompasses swans, several geese, and potentially more than three dozen ducks, lumping all of these as "anatid family" does not adequately capture the differences in taxonomic diversity across the Rice Ridge subassemblages.…”

“…Certainly many species of wild birds were collected for food worldwide, for millennia (e.g. Avery & Underhill 1986; Bovy et al 2019; Lefèvre 1997; Prummel et al 2008), in some cases driven to extinction (e.g. Steadman 1989).…”
