guilá naquitz : archaic foraging and early agriculture in oaxaca, mexico • Orlando • Published In 1986 • Pages: 239-246
By: Flannery, Kent V., Wheeler, Jane C..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Flannery and Wheeler discuss the small fauna remains in Guilá Naquitz Cave, previewed by an examination of the contents of modern owl pellets from a nearby cave. They suggest a natural deposition of such remains in archaeological strata, with commentary on peri- and post-deposition animal disturbance, but also consider the inclusion of small animals in Archaic period human diet. Only remains from stratigraphic zones C and B pertain to the Early Archaic.
