Can anyone help me with a research difficulty I'm having? I'm interested in the occurrence of giraffe bones in archaeological contexts in the ancient Mediterranean (Dynastic Egypt through early Eastern Roman Empire), but so far I haven't been able to locate many. I have found one giraffe frontal bone that comes from a Dynastic context in Egypt, but I haven't been able to find anything from Roman North Africa, where I expected there would be at least a few. Does anyone know of any ancient Mediterranean giraffes?
Thanks in advance,
Emily Holt
