Many thanks for the replies so far. The full
reference I have is:
Reitz, Elizabeth, and Dan Cordier (1983) "Use of

and Archaeology: 2. Shell Middens, Fishes and Birds.
BAR International Series 183. Edited by Caroline
Grigson and Juliet Clutton-Brock.
My page numbers are cut off, but it looks like it is
pp.237-252
