River ice as a taphonomic agent: an alternative hypothesis for bone artifacts
An intuitive taphonomic model is developed to explain how river ice of temperate and high-latitude rivers may affect bones, and to predict the modifications expected. Partial testing of the model by experiments designed to simulate river breakup
produced bone modifications such as fractures, flakes, facets, striations, isolated cuts, and polish. The taphonomic effects of river ice must be discounted prior to the interpretation of such features as human in origin.

Taphonomic analysis and interpretation in North American Pleistocene archaeology

Context and environment in taphonomic analysis: examples from Alaska's Porcupine River caves
Taphonomic data which have historically been interpreted to support human occupation of eastern Beringia during the Pleistocene are critically examined and the context of these discoveries (not the specimens themselves) provides the test essential

The micromammal fauna of the Dnieper modern channel alluvium : taphonomic and biostratigraphic implications

Taphonomic studies indicate that the gnawing action of foxes on guanaco (Lama guanicoe) carcasses produces only very tenuous marks on the bones. Lack of sustained interest in the carcasses by carnivores results in slow disarticulation

that what appeared to be an ecological mixing was probably a taphonomic problem, wherein full-glacial-age fossils were probably reworked into latest Wisconsin sediments.

The AA. describe Lawson Cave and then discuss the taphonomic history of the faunal remains to establish how the ursid materials were deposited and to evaluate the temporal association of ursid remains with those of other taxa from the cave

From sedimentologic interpretations and radiocarbon dates, the AA. propose a polycyclic taphonomic model for thaw gullies governed largely by slope aspect, rather than regional climate, and in which mixing between faunal horizons is more likely than
