    Manual of Hawaiian Fish Remains Identification Based on the Skeletal Reference Collection of Alan C. Ziegler and Including Otoliths
    (2004) Dye, Thomas S.; Longenecker, Ken
    This handbook is intended both as a memoriam to Alan Ziegler and as a tool that Hawaiian archaeologists can use to promote his legacy of high-quality faunal identifications. At its core are high-resolution scanned images of the fish bones in Ziegler’s reference collection, now held by Bishop Museum. These images are intended to serve as a guide to the identification of fish bones. In many cases, comparing a bone with the images will be sufficient to yield a confident identification, but in many others it will be necessary to go beyond the images and make comparisons with actual bones in a high-quality fish bone reference collection.
