Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The Archaeology Research Laboratory (ARL) and Biological Anthropology Research Center (BARC) at Humboldt State University maintain a teaching collection of faunal skeletal materials. This project will add examples of known taphonomic markers relevant to the Humboldt County area to the faunal collection. Faunal elements were deposited in nine unique burial conditions incorporating local earth materials and native plants. Elements will be recovered and accessioned in December 2019. This study provided valuable experience for undergraduate student participants and will add unique reference material to the ARL/ BARC collection.
