HUNTERS

 not shown here. 



hunter # 35 (J = 3.2 kg, SE = 0.3 kg, n = 85; Appendix E). This suggested that even among the 

 main hunters there were substantial differences in the size of the prey they harvested. 



Hunter group size . Hunters pursued game individually or collectively. The mean group size 

 of hunters was 1.7 individuals (SE = 0.0.05, n = 417). Individual hunters conducted 58% of the 

 hunts and took 55% of the game by number, while hunters in groups > 5 people conducted 3% of the 

 hunts and took 3% of the game (Table 3-3). 



The mean number of prey taken per hunting outing ranged from 1.3 to 1.8, but there was no 

 significant difference among these values with respect to hunter group size (x^ approximation = 

 5.6909, d.f. = 4, P < 0.2235; Table 3-3). There was, however, a significant difference between 

 mean number of prey taken per hunter hour with respect to hunter group size (x^ approximation = 

 109.66, d.f. = 4, P < 0.0001). Hunter groups with a single hunter harvested 0.4 prey per hunter 

 hour, while larger groups harvested game at less than half that rate. This suggested that one-two prey
