Characterizing Cut Marks: A Comparison of Cooper and Badger Hole Butchery Patterns (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Leland Bement. Kirsten Carlson.

By describing tool cut marks on bones, Eileen Johnson elevated such incisions to the status of artifact. The size, shape, and morphology provided more than just details of cutting but also came with controversy as to whether these marks alone indicated a human presence. Building on the procedures employed by Johnson on the Southern Plains Cooper site bison bones, the Badger Hole kill assemblage is analyzed to provide a comparison of Folsom bison butchery at sites separated by only 0.7 km...

Conceptual premises in experimental design and their bearing on the use of analogy: an expmple from experiments with cut marks (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Manuel Domínguez Rodrigo.

Cut Mark Size Does Not Change during Butchery: Implications for Reconstructing Tool Use and Carcass Processing (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen Merritt.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Animal carcass butchery occurs when technological factors (tool attributes) and butchery behavior (distinct actions like defleshing, disarticulation) intersect with animal anatomy (morphology of musculoskeletal tissues or regions), and potentially encodes information about these contexts via bone surface modifications. This study examines cut mark...

New Evidence for Human Butchery of an American Mastodon from Central Ohio, USA (2016)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Brian Redmond. Nigel Brush. Haskel Greenfield. P. Nick Kardulias. Jeffrey Dilyard.

A growing body of archaeological data now points to the likely exploitation of American Mastodon (Mammut americanum) by late Pleistocene hunters in North America. The recent discovery of a partial mastodon skeleton at the Cedar Fork site in Morrow County, Ohio provides additional evidence in the form of at least one possibly cut marked bone. The skeletal remains are those of a large male and were disturbed post-mortem by animal scavenging and more recent geological processes including debris...

Strengthening the inferential link between cutmark frequency data and Oldowan hominid behavior: results from modern butchery experiments (2005)

DOCUMENT Citation Only D R Braun. B L Pobiner.

Using a specimen-scale approach and butchery traces on the elbow to refine paleoecological interpretations of Early Stone Age carnivory (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen Merritt.

Assemblage-scale proportions of modified specimens are difficult to link with hominins’ early versus late carcass access because fragmentation and other taphonomic processes affect assemblage composition and taphonomic trace visibility. This work advocates butchered specimen interpretation and describes the skeletal location of butchery traces inflicted during the sequence of carcass consumption behaviors. Tool-assisted carcass consumption is divided into early (defleshing limbs), middle...

What Predicts Cut Mark Frequency and Intensity? (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gwen Bakke. Karen Lupo.

The presence and abundance of cut marks in zooarchaeological assemblages are often used to infer carcass acquisition strategies, butchery patterns and the general availability of prey. In this paper we analyze cut mark data derived from three hunter-gatherer ethnoarchaeological assemblages (East African Hadza, Central African Bofi and Aka and Paraguayan Aché) to investigate how well carcass-size and distribution of meat predict cut mark frequencies as measured by conventional measures such as...
