In terms of modern ethnographic studies of individual
kill/butchery sites, the following two papers give detailed
accounts of field butchery, discard and transport
activities for single kills made by the Hadza people:
Bunn, Bartram and Kroll (1988): Variability in bone
assemblage formation from Hadza hunting, scavenging and
carcass processing. Journal of Anthropological Archaeology
7, 412-457.
O'Connell, Hawkes and Blurton Jones (1988): Hadza hunting,
butchering and bone transport and their archaeological
implications. Journal of Anthropological Research 44(2),
113-161.
These data are revisited by O'Connell et al in 1990 (JAS
17, 301-316) and by Monahan in 1998 (JAS 25, 405-424).
Obviously, there are many ethnographic observations by
Binford regarding individual kills in Nunamiut
Ethnoarchaeology and other volumes.
Cheers,
Alan.
