Sand Canyon Pueblo Fauna
Part of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center fauna through 2008 project

Summary
Faunal data from Sand Canyon Pueblo, excavated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center 1989 through 1993. Faunal analysis was by Robert J. Muir and Jonathan C. Driver in 1999, using methodology described in the CCAC Manual for the Description of Vertebrate Remains. Context information was integrated by Karen G. Schollmeyer in 2011 using data supplied by CCAC. Kyle Bocinsky refactored the bone modification data in 2018. Fauna is from AD 1240 to 1280. Users should reference both this dataset and Muir's 1999 dissertation (available on tDAR), which has additional information on the faunal assemblage. Additional information on Sand Canyon Pueblo is available on the web at http://www.crowcanyon.org/publications/sand_canyon_pueblo.asp.

Burning | This is a duplication of data contained in the three "Modification" columns that pertain to burning. Crow Canyon's Modification coding sheet defines three burning classes: B — Burnt Black; L — Localised burning; and W — Burnt white, grey, or blue/grey. In cases where more than one burning code is present, the more specific categories (B and W) were privileged, and between those the one that appeared "first" (i.e., in the Modification1 column) was kept. | |||||

Gnawing | This is a duplication of data contained in the three "Modification" columns that pertain to gnawing. Crow Canyon's Modification coding sheet defines two gnawing classes: C — Carnivore damage; and R — Rodent gnawing. In cases where more than one gnawing code is present, the one that appeared "first" (i.e., in the Modification1 column) was kept. | |||||
