Dear Karen, Here is a burnt fishbone reference: Steffen, Martina and Quentin Mackie 2006 An Experimental Approach to Understanding Burnt Fish Bone Assemblages within Archaeological Hearth Contexts. Canadian Zooarchaeology 23:11–40. Cheers, Iain McKechnie Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:44:31 +0200 From: Karen van Niekerk <[log in to unmask]> Subject: burnt fish bone references This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0030_01CA3B7A.0D608A40 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear All, I am looking for references on differential burn patterns on bones that still have flesh attached. I'm particularly interested in those referring to fish, in this instance I have several spines that are only burnt on the distal ends. But I will be happy for any suggestions, even if it does not refer to fish in particular. I am aware of Gifford-Gonzalez 1989 (Ethnographic analogues for interpreting modified bones: some cases from East Africa. In: Bonnichsen, R., Sorg, M.H. (Eds.), Bone Modification. Centre for the Study of the First Americans, Institute for Quaternary Studies, University of Maine, pp. 179-246.) but do not have access to it. I do have Asmussen 2009 Intentional or incidental thermal modification? Analysing site occupation via burned bone, JAS 36. Thank you, Karen van Niekerk
