Abstract
This paper reviews the literature on the identification of bird bones found in European sites. Such a review is useful both to Quaternary pa laeontologists and to zooarchaeologists attempting to identify bird bo nes. The publications are considered systematically. We stress that th e published works should not be used for identification in isolation, but that a comparative collection is essential. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sans, Ltd.
