Dear All, I am in process of making up a simple(and simple minded) MS powerpoint presentation on how to tell sheep from goats (for students) with lots of scanned bones, flying arrows etc. with major emphasis on Norse N Atlantic collections (they do start out with quite a few goats, though except for Greenland these tend to fade out after ca 1100). My question for this distinguished (and impressively multi-lingual) audience is if anyone already has done this and would be willing to share? If I am reinventing this wheel,I'd love to know this now! If not, I will be glad to share anything that results, and would be really happy for any collaborators. We are also working on a polar bear digital album for all of you (both of you?) who might be interested. Many thanks to all, very interesting discussions.

Maybe those of us who have English as a first language can help by not using idiomatic and 'slang' expressions in ZOOARCH communications. It is not a big problem, and I am not particularly criticising anyone. However, so many of our colleagues from other countries use English so well that it is easy to forget that English learned as a second language is not quite the same as English used as a first language. And I apologise for the complexity of that sentence!
