Puma transport of prey remains to dens located in overhangs, rockshelters or caves lead to conditions of potential mixing with archaeofaunas. The evidence for puma use of places which before or after were also selected by ...
Expanding the scope of Actualistic Taphonomy in Archaeological Research
(Springer, 2019)
This chapter presents the application of actualistic taphonomy to the study of one of the inorganic remains produced by hominins since 3 million year BP up to historical times: lithic artifacts. As rocks are among the most ...
Bouchardia rosea, a vanishing brachiopod species of the Brazilian platform: taphonomy, historical ecology and conservation paleobiology
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009-01-01)
Dead-live faunal comparisons can offer powerful data to detect natural or human-induced population changes in the late Holocene. Here, we document dead-live comparisons for death assemblages of the brachiopod Bouchardia ...
