Hohokam-Area Faunal Troika Data
Description
This data file includes summary data for an analysis of zooarchaeological abundance at archaeological sites in the Hohokam culture area of the US Southwest. Columns Site: Name of the archaeological site (note that assemblages from different phases or periods within a single site are listed on separate lines). ConsolidatedPeriodCode: Time period of the assemblage, as grouped for the analysis (A=Middle/Late Archaic, B=Early Ceramic/Pioneer/Colonial, C=Sedentary, D=Classic). SiteNum: State of Arizona archaeological site identification number. Lagomorpha: The proportion of lagomorphs out of lagomorphs, artiodactyls, and rodents. Artiodactyla: The proportion of artiodactyls out of lagomorphs, artiodactyls, and rodents. Rodentia: The proportion of artiodactyls out of lagomorphs, artiodactyls, and rodents. TotalNISP: The total number of specimens identified at any taxonomic level, including those outside the classes Lagomorpha, Artiodactyla, and Rodentia. Richness: The count of taxa at the genus level (or higher where no genera are identified within a family or class). Evenness: The inverse of Simpson's Index (Simpson 1949; Hill 1973) for proportions of specimens in the classes Lagomorpha, Artiodactyla, and Rodentia. References Hill, M.O., 1973.
