Lepus californicus texianus—(Texas Jack Rabbit) 29.3%
The many fragments representing the Texas jack rabbit are
second only to those of the cotton tail. Room 8 was especially prolific
in the remains of this rabbit, but these did not seem to represent
any articulated individuals but rather a large collection of
single, and in most cases, broken bones. Four femuri of the Texas
jack rabbit occurred on the floor of the second substructure room
on the west side of the mound. The presence of these bones on
this level is most interesting, especially as all of these four showed
signs of having been worked.
