When bigger is not better: The economics of hunting megafauna and its implications for Plio-Pleistocene hunter-gatherers (2016, background): “…areas or use physical obstacles (thickets, high cliffs, etc.), rapidly and randomly change flight directions, and possess other physical and behavioral traits – notably aggression - that can influence human pursuit (see Frison, 2004; Lyman, 1989; Simmons and Ilany, 1977; Stiner et al., 2000).”
Turtles and Tortoises of the World During the Rise and Global Spread of Humanity: First Checklist and Review of Extinct Pleistocene and Holocene Chelonians. (2015, background): “These patterns of early human exploitation have been corroborated by the studies of Stiner et al. (1999, 2000) on the subsistence use of large vs. small game, including Greek Tortoises (Testudo graeca), from the Paleolithic of Israel.”
Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “The assumption is that decreases in the encounter rate with high-ranking prey can result in a broader or more diverse diet, but as several analysts have shown, this is not always true (see Grayson and Cannon 1999, p. 149; Stiner 2001; Stiner et al. 2000).”
Butchery, cooking and human consumption marks on rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) bones: An experimental study (2009, background): “Rabbit remains can yield important information about subsistence practices, mobility patterns and demographic trends (Hockett & FerreiraBicho, 2000; Hockett & Haws, 2002; Stiner et al., 1999, 2000; Villaverde et al., 1996).”
Explaining Shellfish Variability in Middens on the Meriam Islands, Torres Strait, Australia (2002, background): “espite arguments about the timing and intensity of coastal resource use in human prehistory, it now appears that intertidals have been used by hominids as sources of food since at least the Middle Pleistocene (Avery et al., 1997; Griffiths & Branch, 1997, Klein, 1994; Parkington, 1976; McBrearty & B”
