Native American consumption of small mammals is well documented from prehistoric sites in San Diego County. However, recent analyses of zooarchaeological remains from the village sites of Spindrift and Rinconada de Jamo indicate consumption of a variety of terrestrial, avian, and marine fauna. The presence of over 90 different types of animals at each site, procured from a broad range of habitats, highlights the knowledge indigenous native peoples.
Susan Arter, Co-Director of the Zooarchaeology Laboratory at the San Diego Natural History Museum, will share the results of the analyses, which have become possible with the aid of the museum's modern comparative collections.
