Taphonomy:
By studying the bone bed’s taphonomy [i.e., studying what happened to an organism between the time of its death and the time it was excavated], researchers can determine the environment of deposition and gain a clearer insight into the world of the mammoths.
From ESRI, the makers of ArcGIS, “The most powerful mapping software in the world.” They supply the mapping software used at Mammoth Site.
