Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and paleotectonic setting of the Gazelle Formation, eastern Klamath Mountains, northern California
The Gazelle Formation crops out over an area of 22 x 8 kilometers with a stratigraphic thickness of at least 1.25 kilometers. The Gazelle consists of shale, siltstone, siliceous mudstone, volcaniclastic sandstone, and chert-rich flysch, in decreasing order of abundance. Sediment gravity flows were …

Hunting and herding in a semi-arid region : an archaeozoological and ethological analysis of the faunal remains from the Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic of the eastern Jordanian steppe.
… concerns methodological approaches. A model of gazelle ethology for prehistoric eastern Jordan is presented, since this taxon is dominant in many of the study assemblages. Eleven modern case studies are used to predict population structure, demography and mobility, drawing on the principles of …
