Faunal remains from the sites of Gran Quivira (LA 120) and Pueblo Colorado (LA 476) in central New Mexico provide important data concerning the significance of hunted resources to sedentary, agricultural communities. Faunal data from both sites suggest that continuous occupation depleted the large game resources of the local area. This paper examines the effect of this overhunting of the local environment on the processing of artiodactyl carcasses. The results of the analysis indicate that, through time, the skeletal remains of antelope (Antilocapra americana) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) were processed more intensively for marrow and grease at Pueblo Colorado than at Gran Quivira. It is suggested that this may have been due to Gran Quivira's better access to bison meat via exchange with Plains groups
