The Albert Porter Pueblo great house, located in the central Mesa Verde region, was surrounded by numerous residential structures during the Pueblo II and Pueblo III periods. Using a variety of exploitation measures of wild game and turkeys, we test three hypotheses to see if there are meaningful similarities or differences in the faunal assemblages from the great house and the domestic households that surrounded it. Although the great house was a unique and prominent architectural feature at Albert Porter Pueblo, the faunas from the great house are generally similar to those from surrounding structures. However, there is some evidence that more meat of cottontails and turkeys was consumed in the great house compared to domestic structures during Pueblo III. Overall, all members from Albert Porter had equal access to animal food and those used in rituals and ceremonies. We explore different interpretations of social organization suggested by faunal remains.

理想的肉类：梅萨维德中心地区大房子社区Albert Porter Pueblo的肉类采购社会背景

阿尔伯特·波特（Albert Porter）普韦布洛（Pueblo）大房子位于梅萨维德（Mesa Verde）中部地区，在普韦布洛二世（Pueblo II）和普韦布洛三世（Pueblo III）时期被众多住宅结构所环绕。使用各种野生猎物和火鸡的开发措施，我们检验了三个假设，以查看大房子和包围它的家庭的动物组合是否存在有意义的相似或不同之处。尽管伟大的房子是阿尔伯特·波特·普韦布洛（Albert Porter Pueblo）独特而突出的建筑特色，但伟大房子的动物群通常与周围建筑物的动物群相似。但是，有一些证据表明，与第三次普韦布洛时期的民居建筑相比，大房子里食用的棉尾和火鸡的肉更多。总体，阿尔伯特·波特（Albert Porter）的所有成员都有同等的机会获得动物食物以及用于仪式和仪式的食物。我们探索了动物遗骸提出的对社会组织的不同解释。
