AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
McKusick studied the avifauna from Snaketown. While many of the birds were probably eaten many of the bones are from the wing or pectoral girdle which may mean the feathers were even more valued. Only wild birds were identified.
