Avifauna from the Curtis Site, Southeastern Arizona
A total of 43 individual bird bones and three partial bird skeletons representing 19 species were recovered from excavations at the Curtis Site in Graham County, southeastern Arizona. Although there is a wide variety of species represented in a relatively small sample of bone, most of the species still occur in the site region and suggest little or no ecological changes from A.D. 1300 until today. Historic records, however, indicate the area has …
Osteological Identification of Sandhill Crane versus Turkey
Bones of two cranes, the sandhill crane [Grus canadensis] and the whooping crane [Grus americana], can occur in archaeological sites in North America. Fragments of these bones are frequently and easily confused with similar bone fragments of the common turkey [Meleagris gallopavo]. To preclude these errors, identification techniques are provided for major elements of the sandhill crane and turkey
The Proper Way to Report Birds in Print
The improper publication of bird names in archaeological reports may lead to misunderstanding of texts. Standardized procedures for printing bird names have been in general use by ornithologists for about 100 years but are discussed here for the archaeologists. Examples are given so distortion of facts may be avoided and clarity of interpretation may be better maintained
Identification of Feather Fragments by Microstudies
Not much work has been done on identification of feather fragments because of a deficiency in methods and a lack of trained persons. One individual, trained in these techniques, was tested intensively to determine the accuracy of his identifications. Besides identifying archaeological feather fragments, he also identified small fragments from artifacts (such as cotton socks), which is one example of the usefulness of this technique
Turkey Bones from Wetherill Mesa
Turkey bones occurred in some archaeological sites of Wetherill Mesa in such quantity and form as to demonstrate the value of this domestic fowl as a major economic factor in the lives of the local inhabitants. Here are ample evidences of the use of turkey bones in the manufacture of tools and jewelry and of the use of turkey meat as food. Actual evidence of cooking was not recognized, but butchering techniques were indicated by cut marks on bone…
Archaeological Bird Bones from Chapin Mesa, Mesa Verde National Park
Bird bones from sites on Chapin Mesa, in the collection of the Mesa Verde Museum, were examined. From such a study, it is possible to learn something about the distribution (temporal and spatial) of certain bird species, the use made of them by prehistoric peoples, and certain aspects of the ecology. Birds identified included Whistling Swan, Mallard or Mexican Duck, Hawk, Sage Grouse, Turkey, Sandhill Crane, Great Horned Owl, Black-billed Magpie,…
A Method for Determining the Texture of Pottery
Most students of pottery types have met with difficulties in selecting descriptive terms which would convey the intended idea. Particularly is this true where varying degrees of differences or similarities were being discussed. Since description embraces all characters of pottery, relative terms are unavoidable. One important character of pottery, namely texture, even when description thereof has been attempted, has been inadequately described, t…
