As such, we will be discussing three different methods used for quantify taxonomic proportions are a) NISP (Number of Identified Specimens), b) MNI (Minimum Number Individuals, and c) bone weight. NISP (Numbered of Identified Specimens) allows researchers to obtain a number (or count) for each identified specimens. In other words, it is sorting…
