Hello

You should also check out the Appendix of the following book:

Olsen, Stanley J. 1968. Fish, Amphibian and Reptile Remains from Archaeological Sites, Part 1: Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Papers of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Vol 56(2), Peabody Museum, Cambridge, MA.

The Appendix is entitled "The Osteology of the Wild Turkey"--the osteology of the wild and domestic birds are similar.

Good luck,

Natalie
