“…Burned bone exposed to a pH 6 solution lost more weight more rapidly than fresh unburned bone exposed to a pH 3 solution. Therefore, the post-depositional differential preservation of burned and unburned specimens (von Endt and Ortner, 1984) relative to pH (Buikstra and Swegle, 1989;Lubinski, 1996;McCutcheon, 1992:350;Nicholson, 1996) was assessed by comparing counts of burned and unburned bones and variations in pH at the site.…”

“…In general, poor preservation of fish bones will result in partial disappearance of bone from specimens and, thus, in biased, under-estimates of fish. Potential sources of differential preservation of fish bone before and after deposition include bone structure, processing, ingestion and subaerial weathering, chemistry of the disposal context and other mechanisms of fish bone destruction (Butler and Charters, 1994;Lubinsky, 1996;Nicholson, 1992). The material from the four sites is reasonably well-preserved, allowing the determination of at least one measurement on each otolith and vertebra.…”

“…Recientes trabajos tafonómicos en restos de peces se han focalizado sobre la densidad ósea, el tamaño y la forma de los elementos como factores críticos para la conservación de partes anatómicas (Butler y Chatters 1994;Falabella et al 1994;Lubinski 1996;Musali 2005;Nicholson 1992 Falabella et al (1994) y Musali (2005 proveen un marco de referencia adecuado para efectuar una exploración de estos aspectos. En este sentido, la alta representación de vérte-bras, aunque registren bajas densidades óseas en comparación con los elementos del cráneo (Musali 2005), estaría favorecida por elevados índices morfológicos y por la alta frecuencia que presentan estas unidades por individuo.…”
