invite you to:

"Processing and Consumption of Rabbits at Antelope Cave, Arizona" by Jacob
L. Fisher <http://students.washington.edu/jacobf/Home.html> M.A. (University
of Washington)

Thursday, February 4th, 4 p.m.
Portland State University
Smith Memorial Student Union, Room 294
(1825 SW Broadway, 97201)

PhD candidate, Jacob Fisher, an archaeologist at the University of
Washington, presents his work on Antelope Cave, a Virgin Anasazi site
located in northwestern Arizona.

The site offers a large faunal assemblage dominated by jackrabbits (Lepus
californicus) that has been minimally impacted by post-depositional
processes.

Using data from this site, he will discuss how butchering and consumption
practices of the past can be elucidated from statistical analysis of faunal
remains.

Supporting evidence from human coprolites and experimental data on rabbit
roasting and boiling are presented to provide additional lines of evidence.
It is anticipated that such data will offer important information for
understanding processing decisions at a site possibly related to communal
jackrabbit drives.
