Hi Andre
Are you thinking about the depositional and spatial
patterning of animal bones found on a site. ?
Did you check how the bones are found and where on
location; are they mesured to the find location, or in
context with layers and features, or generally from
the entire site.
One book on this subject is:
Bob Wilson. Spatial Patterning Among Animal Bones.
also you should check Lewis Binfords books for example
the Toss & Drop Zone Theory.
