Archaeological Investigations at the Salmon Beds 

 

Bone Fragments

Most of the faunal remains recovered were generally small fragments indicating that much of the animal bone on the site was processed for oil or fats (Table 4).  Most of these were clustered along the site edge in XU 1, XU 2 and XU 3 (Figure 26).  Level 4 (15-20 cm) contained the largest weight of bone fragments when examined by level (Figure 27).
