Analysis of the Agate Basin component faunal remains from the Hell Gap Site (48G0305) Locality II suggests that the assemblage results from a multi-dimensional formational history. Comparisons of skeletal element frequencies with models of density-mediated attrition, bison settling velocities, and several nutritional utility indices indicate that both fluvial action and the transport of high marrow value elements from kill sites to the residential base in the Hell Gap Valley may have contributed to assemblage composition. Observations of impact related conchoidal flake scars document the intensive secondary processing of long bone elements. Although skeletal part frequencies likely document several taphonomic processes, when viewed together with bone modifications they suggest that the Agate Basin Paleoindians responsible for the Locality II deposits may have practiced a fat-seeking feeding strategy stressing the transport of high bulk protein/skeletal fat utility bison parts from kill sites to the residential base at Locality II
