Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2001.

This dissertation is an analysis of faunal remains from the Donovan site, a Late Prehistoric (A.D. 1000--1300) multiple occupation site on the High Plains of eastern Colorado. The research combines zooarchaeological methods with exploratory interpretations of animal processing to establish a baseline for future comparisons. Changes and similarities in processing strategies, butchery, and culinary practices through time are presented, along with data on species selection, differential portioning of elements, and cultural modification to bone. These data are then evaluated within a larger framework that considers how High Plains peoples moved across the landscape, repeatedly returning to Donovan to hunt bison over the course of several generations, while maintaining contact with farming villages further east on the Central Plains.

520 $a This dissertation is an analysis of faunal remains from the Donovan site, a Late Prehistoric (A.D. 1000--1300) multiple occupation site on the High Plains of eastern Colorado. The research combines zooarchaeological methods with exploratory interpretations of animal processing to establish a baseline for future comparisons. Changes and similarities in processing strategies, butchery, and culinary practices through time are presented, along with data on species selection, differential portioning of elements, and cultural modification to bone. These data are then evaluated within a larger framework that considers how High Plains peoples moved across the landscape, repeatedly returning to Donovan to hunt bison over the course of several generations, while maintaining contact with farming villages further east on the Central Plains.
520 $a The Donovan site is an ideal place to examine animal processing behaviors for several reasons: excellent preservation, intact activity areas, and multiple occupations. The faunal assemblage from the first and last levels provides evidence for intensive bone disarticulation and processing, at a non-kill site. Separated by time and generations, the methods of butchery and discard, and the spatial organization of activities, changed little between the two occupations. Despite these redundancies, some activities differed. The families who first occupied the Donovan site practiced a range of domestic activities in addition to marrow and bone grease extraction, including cooking, tool maintenance, and hide preparation. The last occupants instead focused more specifically on pemmican production.
520 $a This site-specific analysis of daily practices also addresses larger scale processes of culture contact between hunter-gatherers and farmers. The Donovan site lies in a frontier or periphery of what is recognized archaeologically as the Central Plains Tradition Upper Republican phase, a transitional zone between nomadic big-game hunters and horticultural villagers. Although High Plains residents used the same material culture as those in the farming communities, they did not grow corn or live in earthlodge houses. Some have concluded that High Plains peoples were not culturally affiliated with the Central Plains. However, the High Plains should instead be viewed as a region in which Upper Republican peoples themselves journeyed and occupied. As such, the dichotomy between villagers and hunters is questioned.
