Dear All,
You're such a helpful and responsive bunch that I hope you'll also be kind to a
lurking botanist!
Can you provide some basic literature references that would of use starting in
identification of small mammals - the types that lurk around granaries. Durham
has an excellent reference colllection but something to help me get into which
bones it's even worth trying to identify would be a good start. I assume not
vertebrae or ribs for examples but what about long bones? It's especially in
relation to small numbers of such bones that I have in bulk samples from
Vindolanda granaries - so, Roman military.
Thanks in advance for any help,
best wishes
Jacqui
