Procedures for Establishing a Faunal Collection to Aid in Archaeological Analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
The inability to identify faunal remains is one reason why archaeologists continue to devote minimal attention to their study. Archaeologists can become familiar with the skeletal characteristics of animals by establishing a faunal collection. Processing of specimens involves removing tissue from the skeleton, removing grease from the bones, bleaching the bones, and cataloging the specimen.
