Abstract
Fragments of long bones of deer (Odocoileus sp.) and deer-sized mammals recovered from a ca. 2000-year-old site in eastern Missouri were measured to the nearest 0.5 cm. Frequency distributions of fragment size-classes are similar among five subplow-zone excavation levels, but all have more large and fewer small fragments than does the plow zone. Frequency distributions of size classes for eight identifiable skeletal elements indicate a minimum identifiable fragment size exists that creates an analytical absence of skeletal elements that have in reality been collected.
