R. Lee Lyman is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. A scholar of late Quaternary paleomammology and human prehistory of the Pacific Northwest United States, he is the author of Vertebrate Taphonomy and most recently coedited Zooarchaeology and Conservation Biology.

"Quantitative Paleozoology is practical and useful, and does exactly what it is meant to do-provide a clearly-organized and well-cited reference manual that both students and professionals in zooarchaeology and paleontology (collectively referred to as 'paleozoology') can pick up, understand, and implement." --PaleoAnthropology

• 1. Tallying and counting: fundamentals; 2. Estimating taxonomic abundances: NISP and MNI; 3. Estimating taxonomic abundances: other methods; 4. Sampling, recovery, and sample size; 5. Measuring the taxonomic structure and composition ('diversity') of faunas; 6. Skeletal completeness, frequencies of skeletal parts, and fragmentation; 7. Tallying for taphonomy: weathering, burning, corrosion, butchering; 8. Final thoughts.
