Paleoanthropologists have long considered scavenging to have                    played an important role in hominid development.  This research                 will test the possibility that tree-stored leopard kills of                     small bovids may have provided arboreally adapted                               Plio-Pleistocene hominids with a regular source of scavengeable                 meat.                                                                                                                                                           This project will systematically document the duration and                      pattern of carcass consumption and temporary abandonment of                     tree-stored leopard kills in the Serengeti National Park,                       Tanzania.  The results will permit an assessment of the                         feasibility and value of arboreal scavenging by hominids, and                   the extent to which scavengeable bones can be identified at                     early East African archaeological sites.                                                                                                                        This project will extend knowledge about early hominid foraging                 strategies and also enable archaeologists to better understand                  the remains left by early hominids.
