Her major scientific publications focused on Neandertal studies, and included work proposing a biomechanical explanation of the supraorbital torus ( browridges ) and statistical analyses to distinguish taphonomic evidence of secondary burial from that of butchery.

Critically, integration of taphonomic and geologic data from the GD 1 excavations indicated that fundamentally different processes of fossil record formation were occurring at Gondolin during the formation of the GD 1 and GD 2 fossil assemblages.

In other words, age-related taphonomic processes have resulted in the loss of many fish bones, and it is likely that more fish were originally deposited in the Middle Stone Age levels than have been recovered through archaeological excavations.

Her research interests include Australian Aboriginal Archaeology, Experimental Archaeology, Landscape Archaeology, Late Pleistocene and Holocene Palaeoecology and Zooarchaeology and she is a specialist in the taphonomic identification of animal bones ( native and introduced species ) and invertebrate fauna.

The taphonomic regime results in soft tissue being preserved, which means that organisms without hard parts that could be conventionally fossilised can be seen; also, we gain an insight into the organs of more familiar organisms such as the trilobites.
36.
The feather could have been colonized by bacteria during the feather's travel time, as it likely did not sink to the bottom immediately after being shed, which could have initiated the taphonomic processes that rely on the presence of bacteria.
37.
Because of time-averaging and other taphonomic factors, a random collection of shells likely would yield a radiocarbon date that is a few hundred years earlier than when the final accumulation of shells, which were cemented to form beachrock, actually occurred.
38.
The first potential evidence for herding or taphonomic evidence suggesting mammal-like pack hunting in such theropods as " Deinonychus " and " Allosaurus " can also be interpreted as the results of fatal disputes between feeding animals, as is seen in many modern diapsid predators.
39.
Part of the problem has been the avoidance of taphonomic bias by researchers : most fossils occur in Dubois in 1891 during the discovery of homo erectus in Java demonstrated that they consumed freshwater shellfish around half a million years ago, finding also shellfish tools and the earliest human engraving so far discovered.

Since Stensio s publication, many others have provided reconstructed models of " B . canadensis " with modified aspects of the anatomy, including Vezina s modified single dorsal fin and more recently, Arsenault " et al " .'s reconstruction from specimens with little taphonomic distortion.
