Using the number of uncalibrated BP dates or summed probabilistic density of calibrated dates, many studies attempt to monitor demographic dynamics of the past. However, some practical factors including differences in intensity and density of archaeological investigations and the preservation of datable materials, natural decay, and even different financial situations of investigations can cause sampling biases, eventually leading to distorted distributions of radiocarbon dates. Thus, database...
Large Bones, Small Bones, Big Bones, Little Bones: A Quantitative Analyses of Sampling Bias in the Early Paleoindian Zooarchaeological Record (2016)
It has been suggested that the Early Paleoindian archaeofaunal record is biased against small mammals because larger mammals are easier to detect in the archaeological record. It has also been suggested that remains of small mammals would have been more abundant if careful excavation procedures would have been employed. For this poster, I present a quantitative analysis of the Early Paleoindian archaeofaunal record in the continental United States by testing the hypothesis that the...
