2021, Journal of Archaeological Science: ReportsCitation Excerpt :In the Delta, it is assumed that people must have relied more on marshland plant and animal resources. Analysis of paleobotanical and faunal remains from archaeological sites is one means to reconstruct ancient diets, an approach followed for decades in California archaeology (e.g., Broughton, 1987, 1994, 1997, 1999; Byrd et al., 2013; Gobalet et al., 2004; Reddy, 2016; Tushingham and Bettinger, 2013; Wake, 2012; Whitaker, 2008; Wohlgemuth, 1996, 2010). These studies provide important information on the species people exploited in the past, but ancient processing techniques, taphonomic issues, and quantification challenges make more precise reconstructions of diet from such remains alone complex (Grayson, 2014; Lyman, 2008).
