摘要: Summary Unit flesh weights are provided for a sample of wild Thomson's gazelle, Grant's impala and wildebeest. The data permit accurate estimates the quantity consumed by modern carnivores useful interpreting skeletal part profiles archaeological bone assemblages. Despite relative constancy in percentage whole carcass (about 50%), there exist differences distribution between sexes (neck v. pelvic-lumbar regions) among taxa (forelimb hindlimb), but apparently not age classes. Resume On calcule des unites de poids chair dans un echantillon compose gazelles Thomson et Grant, d'impalas gnous sauvages. Ces donnees permettent l'estimation viande consommee par les actuels sont utiles pour interpreter profils squelettiques assemblages osseux archeologiques. En depit d'une constance le pourcentage la carcasse (environ il existe entre repartition (cou rapport aux regions pelvique lombaire) especes (membres anterieurs membres posterieurs), mais apparemment pas classes d'âge.
