Dear all,
After come conversations at the recent PZG meeting, I'm interested in finding any references to skinning new-born lambs or the practical processes of fostering lambs in historic and classical texts. It's generally assumed that this is an ancient practice but I'm finding it difficult to pin down just how ancient this is.
For the same reason, I'd be interested to hear of any sites where perinatal caprine or cattle bones have been found with cutmarks - particularly those which might be associated with skinning. I'm particularly looking at British sites but at this point I'd welcome examples from anywhere in the world.
Best regards,
Lee G. Broderick, MSc, MA, FZS.
