The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Bovid mortality profiles in paleoecological context falsify hypotheses of endurance running–hunting and passive scavenging by early Pleistocene hominins (2010, background): “First, young juvenile teeth are usually destroyed when subjected to rigorous biostratinomic and diagenetic forces (e.g., Munson, 2000; Munson and Garniewicz, 2003) and are thus relatively uncommon in paleontological samples compared to modern control samples, in which they are relatively common.”
Gazelle bone fat processing in the Levantine Epipalaeolithic (2005, background): “It has been established that juvenile bone is more subject to breakage and attrition by post-depositional agents than adult bone [72].”
Komodo monitor (Varanus komodoensis) feeding behavior and dental function reflected through tooth marks on bone surfaces, and the application to ziphodont paleobiology (2009, background): “V. komodoensis tooth marks could also be compared with fossil traces to identify the consumer, as is often attempted with Stone Age assemblages (Blumenschine 1986; Dominguez-Rodrigo 1999; Munson and Garniewicz 2003; Pobiner 2006).”
