Flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans and G. sabrinus) bones from
rockshelter sites are usually attributed to owl predation, rather than
humans. I have an open air prehistoric site in New York state where
flying squirrels are fairly common (82 bones from at least 14
individuals in 20 different pit features). Does anyone know of other
archaeological or historic evidence for human use of flying squirrels?
