Hello! Here's my peer review.

Lead
Is there a reason for the first paragraph being italicized? I assume it is because it is the definition which I think is a nice touch and adds emphasis to it. Doubling down and reducing the italicization to that first sentence could really pack a punch though.

Currently, it provides a good amount of background information and how the assemblages are used in the two fields. I feel like more could be done if more was present (for instance a specific example or an important assemblage in archaeology and/or paleontology) but with the current information provided, the lead works.

Content

 * Taphonomy- Love the inclusion of this. I would suggest linking the wiki for "bioturbation" and define it like you did for "biostratinomy" and "diagenesis" (which is a nice touch). I think an expansion on the "information loss" could be an intriguing section with the previous sentence, "skeletons... most likely to be preserved", being a great addition to the lead. It could also facilitate a section covering the processes behind assemblages and what phenomena/factors play into a "good" and "bad" assemblage (if the info is there).
 * Paleontology- Acts as a good summary and definition of life vs. death assemblages. An inclusion of a definition for "time averaging" might be helpful to readers since there does not seem to be a wiki on it. All the info is nicely put together and organized (I especially like the second paragraph for the example of a process that could nullify the use of time averaging), if there is sufficient info out there going a bit more in-depth could really flesh this out. Potentially on the processes used, specific examples of historic importance (not sure if there is one), or a picture of a fossilized life assemblage that was suddenly buried could be really cool here!
 * Archaeology- Same notes as above, defines the difference and compares it to paleontology concisely. The use of "always" in the second sentence of the second paragraph really conveys how much the assemblages are human influenced. As above, you could potentially go into more detail in this topic, maybe diving into the history of it.

Tone
Seemed very neutral and not favoring archaeological or paleontological, good job!

Organization
I think this page could benefit from the use of headings as those give clear visual separations between topics. Life and Death Assemblages should definitely be a heading and Paleo/Archaeo work well as subheadings. Taphonomy could probably remain as a subheading, since it is more aesthetics at that point, and it does tie in with the lead well.

Overall
This is a good first draft, but I am just itching for more information all around. Go off the deep end with it (scientifically), I want to know you fell into a rabbit hole! In all seriousness, you have added to the quality of the article and have properly defined everything in a neutral fashion. Conclusions, more sources and more information please!

Great job!
