Abstract
Sharing is a common hunter-gatherer behavior, especially as it applies to faunal resources. Ethnoarchaeologists have documented the archaeological visibility of sharing behaviors. Methods exist by which to infer sharing from the analysis of zooarchaeological remains. An ethnographically derived model for meat sharing behaviors among Late Archaic households within North America’s Great Basin is proposed. Expected results are discussed.
