ArchéoZoo.org is pleased to announce you the launch of a new version of its photo gallery, renamed for the occasion ArchéoZooThèque . You will find the albums of the previous version (pictures of Carnivores) and several new albums. Soon there will also be integrated, in image format, the drawings of skeletons which made ​​the success of the website!

Among the new features of this gallery, which wants to be a real "image bank" in zooarchaeology, include: a fully trilingual interface (English, French and Spanish), an advanced search (by categories, keywords, date, popularity, etc..), a slide show, a smart zoom on images, etc.

You can also interact with the content: sharing on social networks (Facebook, Google +, Twitter), comments on the albums or pictures (with tracking thread), scoring shots.

If you have any referential collection in the form of picture albums that you want to share or any remarks to make us go, please use the contact form of the gallery.

Finally, note that the ArchéoZooThèque can also host and make available videos. So if you have movies of interest to the community of archaeozoologists, don’t hesitate to ask us for online publication.

See you soon for new features and new tools on your favorite website !
