Disposing of Carcass (DOC)

[Double Naught Spy]

The funny part that my buddy and I discussed was about the bone yard. If the world goes on for a few hundred or thousand years what would be the reaction of, if some archeologist happened to run into this place. We had been putting 100 deer carcass a year in that spot for over 25 years.

You know, I did zooarchaeology for 25 years. I was the guy who looked at the bones and teeth from archaeological sites in order to determine what people were eating (animal-wise), how the animals were butchered, etc. We love that sort of problem. No doubt the accumulation will be identified as a deposition area based on the atypical representation of animals there, the few ballistic wounds that will be identified, the various butchery and skinning marks identified, etc. No doubt there will be evidence for scavenging by canids and rodents. Quite likely, there will be some other refuse there that will survive that will indicate it is a human deposition site. There may be speculation as to whether it was a domestic accumulation or some sort of hunting camp type situation.
