Hi Jonathan,
Does your student know that the sternum was also the most frequent element in two collections of golden eagle remains in Europe? The refs are:
Bramwell, D., D. W. Yalden, et al. (1987). "Black grouse as the prey of the golden eagle at an archaeological site." Journal of Archaeological Science 14: 195-200.
Bochenski, Z. M. (2005). Owls, diurnal raptors and humans: signatures on avian bones. Biosphere to Lithosphere. T. O'Connor. Oxford, Oxbow: 31-45.
Best of luck with the project,

Subject: [ZOOARCH] eagle "middens"
As you will have seen in my other message, we are doing a little project on
bone deposits left by bald eagles. My student has found a number of
recently published papers on this topic. If anyone has references to
publications that are not in widely distributed journals (e.g. theses, book
chapters, and journals that aren't online), please could you let me know.
Many thanks
Jon
