A number of particularities that characterize the Neotropics -the biogeographic region ranging from central and southern Mexico to southern South America and adjacent islands- are relevant to understanding the diversity and evolution of human-animal interactions through time, as well as the properties of the resulting archaeofaunal record.
The mission of the newly formed Neotropical Zooarchaeology Working Group (NZWG) is to offer a forum where people can meet from any country interested in (...) Thursday 10 June 2010

Scientific objectives
The IEHCA/François-Rabelais Summer School is developing in European, and even worldwide, importance in terms of the presentation of scientific and academic research. In particular, it enables students to equip themselves with the necessary scientific tools for research work, giving them the opportunity to participate in the exchange of information, both between themselves and with the teachers/lecturers. The information thus exchanged may principally be theoretical (...) Monday 1 February 2010

The transmission and impact of animal disease is a critically important issue in contemporary society. Amongst domestic livestock, disease and poor animal health can profoundly affect local, regional and global economies. In wild animals, disease can not only significantly affect population numbers, but can alter ecosystems and threaten biodiversity. Transmissible animal diseases (zoonoses) account for high levels of sickness and mortality rates in both human and animal populations in many (...) Wednesday 27 May 2009

Summary
When a bone of unknown origin is found at a location, forensic implications arise immediately. Is this bone human, and if so, is it evidence of a murder? Human and Non-Human Bone Identification: A Color Atlas presents a comprehensive handbook of photographs and other information essential for law enforcement and forensic anthropologists when examining skeletal remains and determining species and body parts.
Presenting over 3000 color photographs, this atlas is a practical (...) Tuesday 26 May 2009

A carpologist colleague found these residues in a sample from a subaquatic medieval context. She wondered if it can’t be preserved animal parts.
Can you help us in determining these remains? It’s in your opinion remains of plant or animal?
Thank you in advance. Tuesday 14 April 2009

This object was found in a grave during the excavation (about 20 years ago by Soprintendenza Archeologica della Puglia) of a Late Antiquity (6th century AD) cemetery in the town of Taranto (south Italy).
The individual was an adult male with os acromiale on left scapula.
The measurements of the object, made from snake skin, are: 22mm x 28mm, and 7 mm of thickness.
Thank you in (...) Wednesday 1 April 2009

During my visits to museums, I see from time to time skeletons reconstituted. When I have the opportunity, I take pictures of these specimens for draw them.
In wanting to make the series on marine mammals (enrichment of the "digital skeletons" section), I looked at a skeleton whose label presentation is unfortunately illegible. I have put the picture of the skull for identification.
Thank you in advance for your (...) Tuesday 31 March 2009

The trade of freshwater fish to the Middle Ages attempts to put very fresh fish on sale.
In Paris, for example, in halls and markets, the "regrattières" [1] spread out their fish in buckets they had in front of them, where the alive fish swam and preserved itself. These animals could come wholesalers conveying them in boats whose medium in the shape of tank (shops) were bored holes. Storage in shop was a good means to keep freshwater fish alive. Facilities of conservation of freshwater (...) Wednesday 25 March 2009

This autumn Museum Valkhof in Nijmegen will host an exhibition on the 15th century book of hours of Catherine of Cleves (http://www.museumhetvalkhof.nl/cont...).
For a publication on this manuscript, I studied one of the bas-de-pages with a scene of a man catching or collecting fish with a net. I am trying to find out what the small boat ( ?) in the middle of the pond is and how it was used. I guess it’s a container for bait, but I can’t find any proof for it.
I hope someone (...) Thursday 15 January 2009
