Scavenger scattering at two contemporary open air sites in Hungary
نویسنده
چکیده
A major cause of taphonomic loss is bone destruction by scavengers. Having monitored nine sheep bone scatters and two modern sheep carcasses near a farmstead and in a nearby forest clearing, it was hypothesized that the proximity of the settlement influenced multiple non-human bone modificator activities. This observation was tested by an experiment in which the rate of transport was measured in two deposits of standard slaughter house refuse bones at the two sites. Access by scavengers (wild pig vs. canids) differed at the two loci, with the intensity of scavenging higher near the farmstead. It seems that human proximity modified the composition of scavengers by scaring away wild competitors to dogs.
