Mid-Holocene faunal exploitation in the southeastern United States
archaeology of the mid-holocene southeast • Gainesville • Published In 1996 • Pages: 115-133
By: Styles, Bonnie Whatley, Klippel, Walter E..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Styles and Klippel look at faunal data from 6 sites with Middle Archaic components (Modoc Rock Shelter, Black Earth, Russel Cave, Austin, Hayes, and Check Bend Cave). One change noted throughout the region (at non-coastal sites) is a greater reliance on fish (aquatic resources) and white-tailed deer through the mid-Holocene. Most differences in the faunal assemblages can be explained by local resource availability and local subsistence strategies.
