Aguila chrysaetos—(Golden Eagle) .1%
The golden eagle was represented by a single ulna, with accompanying
radius, on the floor of Room 13, which is the kiva
enclosure for Kiva 3. The bones were lying directly on the
surface of the enclosure to the northwest of the kiva, an angle
which had evidently been used at one time for habitation. It is
useless to speculate as to the culinary or ceremonial purposes of
this bird at this site. Judging from more modern parallels, this
wing may well have been used for the latter purpose.
