Dear Zooarchers
I am currently looking at an assemblage which is entirely derived from
sieved samples. As such it is very rich in bird, small mammal and
particularly fish bones.
I am trying to track down useful references to use in conjunction with a
referecne collection to identify the fish bone.
I have had the follwoing suggestions but I'm having trouble tracking them
down.
Lepiksaar, J. Osteologia. 1. Pisces. Göteborg 1981, 1983.
Libois, R.M., Hallet-Libois, C. and Roseaux, R. 1987. Éléments pour
l'identification des restes crâniens des poisons dulçaquicoles de Belgique
et du
Nord de la France. 1. Anguilliformes, Gastérostéiformes, Cyprinodontiformes
et
Perciformes. Fiches d'Ostéologie Animale pour l'Archéologie Série A
Poissons.
No. 3. CNRS. APDCA, Juan-les-Pins. (ISSN:0982-3824)
Suggestions of alternative references would also be helpful.
In addition to the vertebra and other bones from bony fish I have also
noticed a number of what I think are dermal denticles from cartilagenous
fish (little flat discs with projections that look like rose thorns) any
works on how to identify these would also be useful.
I apologise for asking so many questions in one message
Many Thanks
Sylvia
