A RAPID METHOD FOR RECORDING INFORMATION ABOUT MAMMAL BONES FROM ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES
Author(s): Simon Davis
This report describes the methods used in analysing mammal bones from archaeological sites. The criteria used in deciding whether or not to record a fragment are described. The Parts of Skeleton Always Counted (POSACs) are those which are easiest to identify and which provide information such as body-part representation, age, sex and mensural data. They have been selected in order to reduce the amount of low-grade and redundant information.
