Subject: [ZOOARCH] Fish Scale Analyses

 

Hello All!

 

I am currently analyzing an assemblage from southwestern Ontario that is approximately 1000 years old.  It is associated with the lower Great Lakes Western Basin Tradition, and it appears that even fish scales were preserved.  I don't have any experience working with the scales themselves and I was wondering if anybody could suggest methods of quantification, identification, and analysis.

 

Thanks so much!
