Current Analysis Focus on Quad/Beaver Lake/Dalton, Early Side-Notched, and Kirk Stemmed components. Focus on Quad/Beaver Lake/Dalton, Early Side-Notched, and Kirk Stemmed components. –These components span a time of environmental change in North America, including both the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene and the Hypsithermal period. –The data from these components represent the greatest overlap between the analyses of the archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological data.

Richness, Diversity & Equitability Richness is the number of taxa represented. Richness is the number of taxa represented. Diversity (H’) is the heterogeneity of an assemblage. Diversity (H’) is the heterogeneity of an assemblage. Equitability (V’) is the evenness of the distribution between taxa. Equitability (V’) is the evenness of the distribution between taxa.
