Quantitative Taphonomy

Quantitative Taphonomy is a systematic methodological framework within zooarchaeological science that applies statistical and quantitative analyses to identify, measure, and interpret the differential preservation, modification, and representation of faunal remains in archaeological contexts, thereby distinguishing itself from qualitative taphonomic approaches by its reliance on numerical data and formal models to assess post-depositional processes.
