Dear IberoAmerican colleagues,
It is good to read that there is growing interest in our discipline within
the Hispanic speaking world.
However, should we not as scientists be speaking to everyone irrespective of
geographical location and mother tongue? My fear now is that soon there will
be new ZOOARCH lists catering for all kinds of language groups.
Zoo-archaeology should be without boundaries. Our methodological problems,
just to give one example, are surely of interest to everyone!
Please may I make a plea for unity!
Let there be one ZOOARCH forum only.

Subject: [ZOOARCH] News from Iberoamerican area
Dear Zooarchs!
Last month we launched a new mail list to discuss archaeozoological topics,
mainly in Spanish language. Its name is RIARQZOO (Red Iberoamericana de
Arqueozoología, means Iberoamerican Network of Archaeozoology)
The idea was born during an informal meeting in Durham by Iberoamerican
researchers that saw ZOOARCH as an example that we should try to repeat.
We don’t feel RIARQZOO will compete with either zooarch list or ICAZ. On the
contrary, it will complement these by incorporating people that does
research in the Central and South American Area, where exists a growing
interest in this topic.
RIARZOO has already detected 120 researches in the area and many are
non-ICAZ members working in countries such as Argentina, Chile, Perú and
México. We also have some members in Colombia, Brasil, Cuba, Ecuador and
Uruguay.
Our principal aims for next future are to create and maintain:
1)A researcher’s directory for Iberoamerican countries,
2)A reference database with archaeozoological literature produced in the
area (in general poorly known in the English spoken-world)
3)The exchange and support of people and resources (like almost everybody,
we don’t have resources!)
4)Make this information available on a web page
We hope to gain the support from zooarch and of those interested in the
Iberoamerican area in helping us to promote this new list.
Those interested in subscription: send a mail without subject to:
[log in to unmask] and write in body text: suscribe RIARQZOO
first, last name.
As one of the administrators of RIARQZOO and also a subscriber of ZOOARCH I
intend to serve as a bridge between both lists
For further information about RIARQZOO, you can also address your questions
to:
