Okay so @zooarchanimals, does anyone know of any publications which give photographic examples of the gnawing patterns of different animals such as rodents, rabbits and foxes on bones? I'm struggling to find any and I need a comparison for one of my assessments

Published today: Our new article exploring human diet and animal management strategies of prehistoric populations in central northern Spain.
I like that the dietary differences in dogs possibly relates to household pets vs working animals. #isotopes

One of the most long standing members of our team, Lenny Salvagno, will leave us in January to move to Munich for a two-year Marie Curie project investigating med/postmed pig husbandry . Though sad to say goodbye to Lenny, we are delighted for her grant success. @ZooarchLabSheff

Not #zooarchaeology, but highly relevant to anyone in academia

[Zooarchaeology @zooarchanimals]

@ArchaeologyFitz Almost certainly!

@don_o_meara @zooarchanimals @osteoconnor Thanks @don_o_meara. The Bronze Age is a tricky one as most of the literature on animal burials will be Iron Age. Joanne Bruck’s work on mid/late Bronze Age deposits might be useful

[Fay Worley @FayWorley]

@don_o_meara @zooarchanimals @osteoconnor @jimbonesmorris You might find something in Hamblenton 2008 too https://t.co/4pIvkiO1uj

Why did the horse lose its toes? The answer reveals a fascinating parallel between horse and human evolution: horses, it seems - like humans - evolved for endurance running, not speed: https://t.co/x6oqmVbpQg

Here’s the Woolley Mammoth tooth (Molar) I found yesterday on the Thames foreshore while out looking for flint. After a rinse over with water you can see more detail of the ribs that form the tooth once recorded with @findsorguk I will have a date range .

Someone's looking for help!

"Could you ask if anyone has any papers discussing late Bronze Age deposits of animals in pits in Britain, please let me know as I really need some?"
