Since the 19th century,taphonomy has been an important part of the research among paleoanthropologists and archaeologists for understanding the structure and accumulation of fossil remains. Revealing the taphonomic history of the fossils obtained from the excavation sites has a great significance to understand whether these fossil accumulations were created by hominins or by natural events, such as fluvial transport and carnivore activities. These studies provide important clues about the paleoecology of these sites. Taphonomy has been an essential discipline especially to reveal behaviors and feeding strategies of hominins
Tafonomi 19. Yüzyıldan bu yana fosil kalıntıların yapısını ve birikimini anlamak için paleoantropologların ve arkeologların araştırmalarının önemli bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Kazı alanlarından elde edilen fosillerin tafonomik tarihini açığa çıkarmak, o fosil birikimlerin homininler tarafından mı yoksa doğa olayları (flüvyal taşınma, etçil aktıvitesi, vb.) tarafından mı oluşturulduğunu anlamak için büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu araştırmalar, bu alanların paleoekolojisi hakkında önemli ipuçları sağlamaktadır. Tafonomi, özellikle homininlerin beslenme stratejilerini ve davranış biçimlerini ortaya çıkarmada asli bir disiplin haline gelmiştir
