A NEW SEMI-QUANTITATIVE METHOD FOR CODING CARNIVORE CHEWING DAMAGE WITH AN APPLICATION TO MODERN AFRICAN LION-DAMAGED BONES

PALAIOS, 2020
ABSTRACTThe ability to distinguish between the taphonomic patterns inflicted by different carnivore taxa in the fossil record is currently underdeveloped. Previous efforts to identify taxon-specific taphonomic damage to prey bones inflicted by larger felids have largely focused on tooth marks.

Hunted or Scavenged Neanderthals? Taphonomic Approach to Hominin Fossils with Carnivore Damage

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2017
AbstractCarnivore damage on Neanderthal fossils is a much more common taphonomic modification than previously thought. Its presence could have different explanations, including predatory attacks or scavenging scenarios, which are both situations with important implications concerning Neanderthal behaviour.

Differential Carnivore Damage as a Potential Indicator of Resource Availability and Foraging Efficiency

Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, 2014
Carnivore damage is typically documented in faunal assemblages to understand if attrition of elements or element portions has occurred. Thus, the amount of carnivore damage often is used to simply reflect how “complete” the assemblage is. However, gnawing is a means for carnivores to extract within bone nutrients.

Human conflict with wild carnivores and herbivores: a comparison of socio-economics, damage and prey preference of wild carnivores

2022
AbstractHuman-wildlife conflict (HWC) at the fringes of protected areas is a major concern in the conservation biology. Although damage caused by carnivores and herbivores may vary in their magnitude, more attention has been given to carnivores due to various reasons.

A guide for differentiating mammalian carnivore taxa responsible for gnaw damage to herbivore limb bones

Paleobiology, 1983
Large cats, canids, bears, and hyenas create distinctive types of damage when they gnaw bones. This paper describes the diagnostic characteristics of damage done by each taxon to femora and tibiae of herbivores whose body weights are 300 kg or more. Pleistocene and Recent fossil collections that include gnawed bones might provide data on the presence ...
