Description:

Abstract:

This data release indicates faunal presence or absence of shelly artifacts (invertebrate remains) from the Dominican University of California archaeological site MRN-CA-254, Marin County, California.

Purpose:

These samples were collected by personnel from Holman and Associates Archaeological Consultants (San Francisco, California) in 1994 and 1996 at the request of Dominican College (now Dominican University of California), in response to proposed development on the campus, to determine the integrity and significance of the cultural resources and provide information necessary to formulate strategies for future mitigation of adverse impacts.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Sediment samples were collected by Holman and Associates Archaeological Consultants (San Francisco, California) in 1994 and 1996 at the request of Dominican College (now Dominican University of California). The sediment samples were washed through sieves by Holman and Associates personnel and the archaeological remains removed from the sieves. The USGS obtained these archaeological remains, inspected them with unassisted vision (that is, without a microscope or other device), and used their morphologic characteristics (for example, shape, sculpturing, hinge, and aperture) to determine their taxonomic affinity.
