Some useful terminology and links
Zooarchaeology
Also "zooarchaeology" or among archaeologists "faunal analysis". The study of non-human animals in archaeological contexts. This field of research often combines the studies of archaeology and zoology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooarchaeology
Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument
A national park near Hagerman, Idaho, U.S.A. It is internationally significant for its paleontological resources. It includes the world's richest fossil deposits, in quality, quantity, and diversity, from the late Pliocene epoch. Many of its fossils represent the last vestiges of species that existed before the last Ice Age, the Pleistocene, and the earliest 'modern' flora and fauna. Hagerman Fossil Beds is one of North America's most important sites for Pliocene birds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagerman_Fossil_Beds_National_Monument
Tephrochronology
A technique that uses layers of tephra (volcanic ash from a single eruption) as chronological markers within layers of soil. Each volcanic event produces ash with a unique chemical "fingerprint" that allows the deposit to be identified across the area affected by fallout. Once the volcanic event has been independently dated, the tephra layer will act as time marker anywhere it is encountered. Layers beneath the ash will be older, and layers above will be younger. If tephra layers can be identified both above and below a layer of interest then the age of the contents of that layer (for example, artefacts or fossils) must be between the ages of the two tephra layers.
