Vectorised bones
This section contains anatomical plates by species; the skeletal elements are individualised and presented in different views. These vectorised drawings are intended to illustrate your work and scientific publications, provided that you mention their reference. Persons or institutions wishing to use them in a wider context (exhibition, film, event or educational production) are requested to contact us at [email protected]. They can be downloaded in vectorised PDF format and edited with Adobe Illustrator and various CAD software. We try to regularly enrich this section with anatomical plates found in publications or with your own creations. To help us develop this section, do not hesitate to send us your drawings. You can also send us copies or references of publications offering the same type of illustrations, which we could then vectorise and make available to all.
Reference collections
The photographs made available here are in high resolution. Several shots are provided for the same anatomical element with a size scale. These images are intended to be used freely by the community of archaeozoologists to help them in their determination work. To help us develop this virtual reference collection, please provide us with photographs of skeletons and skeletal elements from your own collections. You can also provide us with photographs of teeth, shells, insects, etc.
Vectorised skeletons
Drawings in vector format of skeletons in connection intended to illustrate your scientific work and publication provided to mention their references. Individuals or institutions wishing to use them in a broader context (exhibition, movie, event or educational output) are invited to contact us ([email protected]). They can be downloaded in vectorized PDF format, usable with Adobe Illustrator and various DTP software. We try to enrich this section regularly from anatomical drawings found in publications and vectorized by Michel Coutureau and colleagues or, from your own production. To help us develop this section, don’t hesitate to send us also your drawings. You can also send us copies or references of publication offering the same type of illustration that we could vectorize well and make available to all.
Silhouettes
This section contains silhouettes of human skeletons (graves) and animals. These vectorised drawings are intended to illustrate your work and scientific publications, provided that you mention their reference. They can be downloaded in vectorised PDF format and edited with Adobe Illustrator and various CAD software. To help us develop this section, do not hesitate to send us your drawings.
