How to distinguish duck and wader remains eaten by the peregrine falconFalco peregrinusfrom those eaten by other birds of prey and humans
Bird bones from archeological sites near cliffs and at the entrance to caves may have been accumulated by the peregrine falcon and not by humans. To find out who deposited these remains-humans, peregrine falcons, or some other predators-taphonomic studies must be carried out. This study shows the characteristic damage to the bones of modern birds done by peregrine falcons. These include greater than expected abundance of humeri and coracoids, rel…
The taphonomy of medium‐sized grouse in food remains of the northern goshawk Accipiter gentilis , compared with damage done by man and other predators
This study describes bone damage of medium‐sized grouse ( Lyrurus tetrix and Lagopus spp.) in food remains of the northern goshawk Accipiter gentilis and compares it to damage done by other birds of prey and humans. In general, the ‘signature’ left on the bones by the goshawk is similar to those of other diurnal birds of prey, but it differs from human‐derived damage and from owl pellets. These differences are visible in bone preservation, fragme…
Where the snags are
A study of bird remains from the Koziarnia Cave (Poland) revealed the presence of nearly a dozen bony shreds ( snags ) projecting from the natural canals in bones; the snags were made of a material that accumulated during the Late Pleistocene. This paper describes this phenomenon and determines the most probable agent responsible for its occurrence by utilizing observations of snag microstructure, taphonomic analysis of bird assemblages from Kozi…
