 Research Issues in San Diego Prehistory - Seasonality from Chione
Barker distin­guished two key features on the external surfaces of Chione undatella valves: grooves, which were interpreted as marking annual winter hiatuses in growth; and ridge-and-trough sequences, which were interpreted as fortnightly growth increments.
Based on a New Zealand study by Peter J. Coutts and Charles Higham (1971), Macko proposed to partition Chione growth incre­ments unequally among the non-winter seasons, assigning 35% of growth to spring, 50% to summer, and 15% to fall.
Future zoological and archaeological investigations may be able to clarify the nature of "annual grooves" and "fortnightly ridges," the amount of shell growth during successive years of an animal's life, the seasonal distribution of that growth, and the degree of variability in patterns of growth in different environmental settings.
