Peromyscus maniculatus rufinus—(Tawny Deer Mouse) .2%

This typical little rodent was also identified from Tseh So, especially
from several skulls. Undoubtedly other species of the
small rodents were present, but identification was difficult without
the skulls. It is also hardly to be supposed that the white-footed
mouse was a food item used by the aborigines of Chaco. Its presence
in the ruin is undoubtedly due to entirely natural causes.
