FAUNAL REMAINS 



Animal remains within the deposits of the Hosterman site (39P07) , 

 were very abundant. All identifiable whole and fragmentary bones 

 were preserved and later identified by Dr. Theodore White and H. W. 

 Setzer, as follows:

Rana sp. 

 Class : Aves ; order undetermined : 



Aquila chrysoelus canadensis golden eagle.

As White (1954, p. 161) has indicated: 



The numerical count of the elements found in a site is subject to the accidents 

 of preservation, the length of occupation, and the size of the excavation, but the 

 ratio of various elements to each other and to the greatest number of individuals 

 represented, from an excavation which satisfies the archeological requirements, 

 should provide an adequate sample for this type of study. . . . 



Throughout this study the "number of individuals" means the greatest 

 number represented by any smgle element, i.e., in this site, as shown
