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 (...)

Dear colleagues, I was just informed that the following Conference of the European Association for the Advancement of Archaeology by Experiment (EXAR) entitled and concerned with "Bone and Antler" will be held from 13th to 15th of October 2006 in Mannheim, Germany. For further information go for http://exar.org. Cheers Christian — KNOCHENARBEIT Hans Christian (...)

I drew an hamster (Cricetus cricetus) skeleton after an anonymous drawing take from an old lesson of biology and I’am looking for a volunteer for verify that bones are well represented.

Comparative anatomy remains the basis of any taxonomic determination. Both the dental and skeletal morphology of living species generally help us to identify fossil specimens, in particular those dating to the Quaternary since these are morphologically little different from their living representatives. In order to undertake studies of Quaternary vertebrates, the ideal would be to have our library and osteological reference collection constantly at arms reach. Unfortunately this is rarely (...)

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 (...)

New Zealand was first discovered less than 1,000 years ago by people from Eastern Polynesia, who were ancestors of the present New Zealand Māori. They were the descendants of people with a long maritime tradition, who took their first steps into the Oceanic world east of New Guinea some 35,000 years ago. By the time these people had settled the far flung islands of the Pacific and reached New Zealand they possessed advanced fishing technology and deep knowledge of fish habits and (...)
