文摘
- •
Redundancy analysis was applied to a Mississippi shell ring surface collection.
- •
Results showed a relationship between sample size and observed species richness.
- •
Species–Area Curves provided a basis for limited sampling of surface assemblages.
- •
Comparisons with excavation data indicated poor preservation in the plow-zone.
- •
Future shell studies should always implement some form of sub-surface sampling.
