ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF TAXA AND THE NUMBER OF SPECIMENS IDENTIFIED IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL BONE ASSEMBLAGES.
Author(s): T P O'Connor
Results are presented of a series of analyses investiga-ting the relationship between sample size and taxon yield in four hand-collected and sieved bone assemblages from archaeological sites in York. The results confirm Casteel's identification of a significant non-linear relationship, and the implications of this relationship for sampling and analytical strategies are briefly discussed.
