Abstract
ABSTRACTThe recognition of intrusive fauna in archaeological assemblages has been attempted through many methods, although no single technique can be applied in all situations. The high number of anuran remains recovered from the WS Ranch site in west-central New Mexico is problematic as regional archaeological and ethnographic discussions of this taxon are scarce. For this reason, a suite of methods has been used to assess the status of these remains. Anuran elements account for the highest frequency taxon from pit house floors and fill. Archaeological and taphonomic factors, supported by ethnographic data, indicate that these remains are not part of the cultural assemblage.
