Subject: [ZOOARCH] Possible hair from Palaeolithic site
Can anyone help my colleague Alex Pryor with this query about the identification of a possible hair from a Palaeolithic site?
If he was still with us, this is something Michael Ryder would have been able to answer. Has anyone taken up Michael's research?
Happy New Year to all colleagues,
Dale

Subject: Quick question
Dear Dale,
I am trying to track down someone that might have a specialism in identification of stray hairs to animal species. The story is that I have some samples that are probably charred hair from a Palaeolithic site of Dolní Vĕstonice II, and possibly of mammoth but if it is hair I think horse may be an equally likely option. I am presently trying to confirm 1) that the remains are actually of hair and not something else and 2) if they are, a list of potential species IDs. I’m struggling to think who to ask for an opinion as this is a rather niche area, and wondered if you had come across anyone in your travels that might be able to help?
Thanks,
Alex
