“…Gilbert and Singer (1982) and Gilbert et al (1983) have, for example, shown that RF and MNI calculations are dependent on sample size, and Noe-Nygaard (1977) has demonstrated that bone weight varies with depositional environment.…”

“…Our interpretations must therefore be based on analyses of depositionai context (e.g., primary and secondary), sample size, and differential preservation (Barker and Gamble, 1985;Ford, 1979;Gifford, 1981;Gilbert and Singer, 1982;Gordon, 1993;Klein and CruzUribe, 1984;Lyman, 1982Lyman, , 1987Lyman, , 1994Maltby, 1985;Miksicek, 1987;Pearsail, 1988;Schiller, 1987). A secondary refuse deposit, for instance, often represents a variety of activities--from preparation to cooking to consumption and even nonfood activities (Maltby, 1985;Miksicek, 1987).…”

In complex societies individuals from distinct socia~ economic, gender, or age groups often consume different foods because of various economic, politica~ and ideological factors. The food system not only involves what is consumed but includes the labor and technology that goes into the production and preparation of food as well as how certain foods are distributed and eventually discarded. Food systems within and among complex societies are thus tightly intertwined with social differentiation and the political economy and participate in defining and maintaining differential social relations.

“…Methods specifically tailored to the analysis of faunal data were developed during the 1950s (White, 1953), reviewed during the late 1970s and early 1980s, (Casteel and Grayson, 1977;Gilbert and Singer, 1982;Grayson, 1979), summarized by Grayson (1984) and others throughout that decade, and reevaluated once again in the 1990s by Brewer (1992), Lyman (1994a), and others. Hundreds, possibly even thousands, of articles creating new measures and applying them to specific assemblages have been published since the 1950s.…”
