Título: | Preliminary small mammal taphonomy of FLK NW level 20 (Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania) |
Autor: | Arcos, Saleta; Sevilla, Paloma; Fernández-Jalvo, Yolanda | Fecha de publicación: | 2010 | Editor: | Academic Press | Citación: | Quaternary Research 74(3) : 405- 410 (2010) | Resumen: | The Bed-I series of Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania) is a reference site in human evolution, having yielded the holotypes of Paranthropus boisei and Homo habilis, together with manufactured artefacts and abundant large and micro-fauna. Excavations in Olduvai Gorge have been recently resumed, with new aims and new results. This paper presents the results of the taphonomic analysis carried out on a fossil small-mammal assemblage recovered from FLK NW level 20, a layer overlying Tuff C, dated from 1.84. Ma. The analysis provides good evidence of a category 1 predator, most likely a barn owl, as the predator of the bone assemblage. Trampling and sediment compression might influence postdepositional breakage of the bones. This study is especially relevant since previous taphonomic analyses carried out at levels above and below this sample led to inconclusive results due to a low number of fossils (Fernández-Jalvo et al., 1998). The new sample provides new information to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental context in which early hominins inhabited. © 2010. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2010.06.002 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/78678 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.yqres.2010.06.002 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.yqres.2010.06.002 issn: 0033-5894 |
