Dr. Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman, zooarchaeologist from the University of Arizona, identified bones from gar, bowfin, catfish, and sunfish. A spine from a catfish possibly as big as one meter long was found in a large pit located south of the eastern bastion. The hook is 4.13 cm long. | | Photo credit: Don Sepulvado
