Comments
DhRt-5, Point Grey: This is a single component Marpole site. Two analyses of faunal remains are summarized by Coupland (1991). One is Wendy Unfreed's analysis of excavation units A1-A4 in Trench A, quantified by number of identified specimens (NISP) and minimum number of individuals (MNI), written here as NISP-MNI. The other is Becky Wigen's analysis of a column sample from Trench A, quantified by NISP and bone weight; only NISP is recorded here, as +NISP. Fauna: Pisces, Clupea harengus 37374-1164 +4451, Pleuronectidae 5756-214 +122, Oncorhynchus sp 2738-31 +45, Hydrolagus colliei 286-67 +4, Squalus acanthias 236-3 +7, Cottidae 134-9 +31, Acipenser sp 55-1 +1, Sebastes sp 39-2, Gadus macrocephalus 24-3, Racochilus vacca 22-1 +1, Anoplopoma fimbria 8-2, Porichthys notatus 5-1, Engraulis mordax +643, Thaleichthys pacificus +35, Hypomesus pretiosus +89; Mollusca: Mytilus edulis, Balanus sp, Thias lamellosa, Acmoea, Protothaca staminea, Saxidomus giganteus, Tresus capax, Clinocardium nuttali, Ostrea lurida, Macoma sp, Urosalpinx cinerea, Lacuna variegata, Pecten caurinus, Dentalium pretiosum
