Haynes Shell Midden Site (15Bt11), vertebrate faunal remains

Creator(s): George Crothers

Year: 1996

Summary

Vertebrate faunal remains from Excavation Unit A1 (1 x 1 m), excavated in arbitrary 10 cm levels to 205 cm below surface datum. Level 1 is 0-25 cm (plowzone), Level 2 is 25-30 cm, and levels 3-19 are each 10 cm. Level 20 is 200-205 cm. All matrix waterscreened through 1/4" (6.4 mm) mesh and a 40% sample from each level waterscreened through 1/16" (1.6 mm) mesh, except Level 1, which was dryscreened 1/4" only. Flotation column collected from each level in the southwest corner, except Level 1. All remains identified in this dataset are from the 1/4" fraction of the general waterscreen matrix and flotation column. Total number of bones is 5947.
