	abstract = {<p>One of the most important sources of information for reconstructing man\&$\#$39;s adaptive response to prehistoric environments is the faunal remains found in archaeological sites. This paper develops the view that faunal remains are not randomly distributed in archaeological sites; they may reflect patterned human behavior and may covary with other classes of archaeological data. A computer based data banking system is presented which may be used as a rapid organizational tool for isolating patterns in large and small quantities of faunal data. The interpretation of variance calls for the use of an interdisciplinary approach which entails a high degree of interaction between specialists throughout the project during the planning stages and during the interpretation of analytical results. Case example analyses of data from the Passamaquoddy Bay Archaeological Research Project, New Brunswick, are presented. The study is concluded with the suggestion that the acceptance of data banking methods and standardized systematics may provide the key for shifting the focus of faunal analysis research. These methods may permit analysts to change their focus from site specific studies to the consideration of cross-culture comparative questions regarding man\&$\#$39;s utilization of the faunal resource.</p>},
