Archaeozoological Analysis of Large Mammals of Chokurka I Unit IV
Abstract
The bone material of Chokurcha Unit IV is not abundant given the depth of the deposit and excavated area; the number of faunal remains varies from 38 to 2,7/7 depending on the level. The richest levels of Unit IV are IV-M, IV-O, IV-I, IV-F, IV-B, and IV-Q (Figure 22-/). Since there is significant bone fragmentation, the total number of identifiable remains is very low—less than 20% (Figure 22-2). The estimate for the number of individuals for identified species in each level indicates that there is a dearth in bone material for all levels. The number of individuals in each level is also fairly low, ranging from one to twelve.
