Sea Mammals

Smith (n.d.:3) has identified a sea lion, one other large sea mammal (though he is unable to identify it to species level) and two fur seals. This small number of individuals makes any conclusions very tentative using presently available methods of analysis. Smith (ibid: 15) has suggested winter exploitation of the fur seals and sea lion as the most probable interpretation. With the sea lion, however, there is the possibility that prehistoric distribution may have been different to that at present.
