La Quina Faunal Collections Assembled by the American School of Prehistoric Research in the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History

Abstract In this paper we summarize the history of the American School of Prehistoric Research, discuss the sites visited during the program's tenure from 1921–1934, and provide an analysis based on taxonomy and skeletal elements of the large mammalian faunal remains from one of those sites, La Quina. A listing of all La Quina large mammalian fauna deposited at the Yale Peabody Museum is presented.
