     "One who studies thananthoconoeses (save your dictionary:
     "death assemblages"), examining questions of
     postdepositional disturbance or distortion of bone assemblages,
     and determining the extent of scavanging and carnivore activity
     visited upon the assemblages before sedimentary isolation."
