Hi Rebecca,
Maybe you also could check Archaeofauna, Vol 2, 1993. In particular references from: Zeiler & Clason; Prummel; Lefevre & Siegel-Clausey, Serjeanston et al.
Complete references & abstract in:

Cheers,
Eduardo

The major species include several alcids, ducks, shearwaters and albatross. These bones show more cut marks than I have ever seen before! Ethnographic info suggests the Aleuts used bird skins for clothing, and clearly they were using the bones for tools. Not to mention eating the birds! So presumably the marks are caused by a mix of skinning, butchering and tool manufacturing. I was hoping to compare the cut marks on these bones with other sites, but haven't turned up much in print. Does anyone know of any references? I have the papers from the 1997 Journal of Osteoarchaeology.
