Faunal Exploitation at Orendorf: A Preliminary Look at the Settlement D and C Assemblages

An overview of the faunal remains from Settlement D at Orendorf is presented, focusing on the deer, other mammal, fish, and turtle remains with comparisons made between select structures and pit features. The faunal data from Settlement D and Settlement C are also compared. While prior study of some Settlement C fauna has been undertaken, only recently has the entire Orendorf faunal assemblage been subject to a detailed analysis.
