> Does anyone out there have any sources that you found extremely helpful in learning to calculate biomass or estimates of dietary contribution? I still struggle with this part of faunal analysis, and in striving to be a better zooarch I feel the need to clear up my own confusion. I have the Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology that address it (both Lyman and Reitz & Wing), but I would like to read other methodological explanations as well. Feel free to throw in some allometry readings for me, as I still can't grasp this either.
