We were discussing butchering marks in my earlier lecture actually. It's hard to tell if people were say, eating calve's feet if you don't have some butcher marks on those bones.
I would think with underwater archaeology due to the better preservation you might have a much higher chance of identifying an animal's colour than anywhere else.
Found some rat bones on one wreck that showed evidence of cannibalism. Cool!
