Abstract: |
This note offers general guidelines to excavators on planning sieving and sampling strategies for animal bones. It includes advice on choice of contexts, mesh size, and sample size, practical advice on procedures, and an appendix on quantitative problems involved in relating data from sieved samples to data from trench-recovered assemblages. The importance of consultation with specialists before and during excavation is stressed; these notes are an adjunct to and not a substitute for proper consultation with a zooarchaeologist. An appendix covers problems in combining trench recovered data and data from sieved samples (6--9). |
