[Bonetools] fossil faunas

[Florencia Borella]

Hola Laura,
Lyman ha escrito acerca de cuando puede o no considerarse fósil a un
registro faunístico. Podes revisar el cap 1 o 2 del Manual publicado por
Cambridge de Lyman 1994  "Vertebrate Taphonomy" (no lo tengo acá en mi
manos) pero recuerdo que los capítulos introductorios menciona esta
cuestión y establece una distinción que seguramente resultará de utilidad
o a menos podrás retomar en discusión.
Cordialmente,
Florencia

>> Dear all,
>>
>>  I write on behalf of Arturo Morales who is presently trying to
>> address on three Spanish sites how to set apart ?fossils?, meaning
>> faunas dating from long before an archaeological occupation, from
>>  those essentially contemporaneous with it. The problem is not just
>> one of how to define a fossil (not that easy, or so it seems) but
>> also what kinds of criteria can one use to set apart ?modern? from
>> ?old? in different groups, vertebrates and mollusks in particular.
>> This is critical when dealing with specimens from species which are
>> still alive (mollusks and shark teeth from coastal sites close to
>> paleontological outcrops are a case in point).
>>
>>  Does anyone  know  papers specifying such differences? Or papers
>> that would provide protocols  one needs to apply to the specimens to
>> set apart fossil from ?modern??
>>
>>  We would also be grateful if people could point out regional
>> reviews  on fossils from conventional  archaeofaunal assemblages
>> especially from Europe OTHER than the ones cited below.
