通过对北美西部大盆地地区两个考古鸟类化石的比较，发现：（1）解剖部位的相对出现频率在古生物遗址和考古遗址之间，以及在不同环境的考古遗址之间没有显著差异;（2）一个统计数据，用于自然区分-从史前人类在欧洲遗址收集的鸟类标本中提取的沉积物反映了大盆地组合中鸟类运动能力的差异，而不是由独立证据重建的沉积过程。
Two archaeological avifaunas from the Great Basin region of western North America are compared with published avifaunal data to reveal that: (1) the relative frequency of anatomical parts is not significantly different between paleontological and archaeological sites, or between archaeological sites in different environments; and (2) a statistic used to distinguish naturally-deposited avian specimens from those accumulated by prehistoric people in European sites reflects differences in locomotor abilities of the birds in the Great Basin assemblages rather than processes of deposition as reconstructed by independent evidence.
