  • Resource partitioning among late Pleistocene herbivores of Natural Trap Cave, Wyoming

    Open Access•Lillian M Spencer, Eric Scott•ARTICLE•Quaternary International•2022•References: 5

    Natural Trap Cave (NTC) preserves abundant late Pleistocene herbivore remains including equids (Equus and Haringtonhippus) and the sheep Ovis. The NTC equid sample contains a minimum of two taxa, while other large herbivore genera are represented by single species. In modern communities, sympatric herbivores partition resources by feeding on different plants or different plant parts. Previous dental isotopic studies indicated that most NTC herbiv…

  • Captive hyaena bone choice and destruction, the Schlepp effect and olduvai archaeofaunas

  • Impact of Carnivore Ravaging on Zooarchaeological Measures of Element Abundance

    Open Access•C W Marean, Lillian M Spencer•ARTICLE•American Antiquity•1991•Cited by: 220•References: 23

    Most zooarchaeologists estimate limb-bone abundance from limb ends. Researchers have provided detailed documentation of the preferential destruction by carnivores of limb ends (Binford 1981; Binford et al. 1988; Blumenschine 1988; Brain 1981; Marean et al. 1990; Orloff and Marean 1990; Sutcliffe 1970). Others have observed differences between limb abundances calculated on limb shafts vs. ends, suggesting shaft pieces may provide more accurate est…
