What about creating a useful tool together to determine enigmatic bones? This afternoon, in Compiègne’s lab, as yesterday, we found bones and fragments which make us think about something: oh, yes, I already saw that, and I already had difficulties to find what it is! That kind of bones, or pieces of bones, we find once a year or once every several years. So, we thought about the following idea: take photographs of any rare, strange and boring bones that are always very hard to (...)

This drawings corpus realized by M. Coutureau is for community use. These drawings are available in Adobe IllustratorTM format (version 8.0). They are particulary practical for showing anatomical distributions. A first set of domestic animal skeletons was realized in 1996 by M. Coutureau, in collaboration with V. Forest (INRAP): cat (Felis catus), horse (Equus caballus), goat (Capra hircus), dog (Canis familiaris), rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), sheep (Ovis aries), pig (Sus domesticus) (...)

The CNRS annual recruitment drive for Postdoctoral Research positions is designed to offer young researchers an opportunity to spend time either in CNRS Laboratories or those it runs with other organizations or higher educational institutions. This recruitment drive offering post doctororal contracts is aimed at the most brilliant researchers, either from France or abroad to enable them to move from the laboratory where they did their Ph.D. to acquire additional high-level research (...)

The meeting will be focussed around two broad themes. Advancing method The introduction of new techniques and the refinement of available methods allow us to ask new questions and probe existing ones with new depths or viewpoints. Presentations within this theme will be primarily focussed on issues surrounding the development, refinement or questioning of analytical methods and the impact of these upon archaeological understandings. Enhancing understanding How can archaeomalacological (...)

This set of drawings dedicated to the birds was conducted by M. Coutureau, in collaboration with J-H. Yvinec (INRAP) and V. Laroulandie (University of Bordeaux 1-PACEA-IPGQ/UMR 5199 CNRS). It is put at the disposal of the community. In 2004 we added: cock, hen (Gallus gallus) and crow (Corvus frugilegus). In october 2005, we added pigeon (Colomba livia). Two sights different from the same grouse (Lagopus sp.), were put on line in May 2007. The snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus, formerly Nyctea (...)
