Lecture with Prof. Brianna Probiner

Hypotheses  about the increased incorporation of animal tissues (meat and marrow)  into early hominin diets often focus on two potential modes of large  animal carcass  procurement by hominins: hunting or scavenging. This talk will outline  zooarchaeological and ecological evidence for scavenging as a likely  mode of hominin procurement of medium and large animal carcasses in the  Early Stone Age.
