Dear Jessica and all zooarchs,

There are plenty of sites in Iberia (Spain and Portugal) where Otis tarda remains have been recovered. Please check the following publication

HERNÁNDEZ CARRASQUILLA, F. (1993) - Catálogo provisional de los yacimientos con aves del Cuaternario de la Península Ibérica. Archaeofauna. Madrid. 2, p. 231-275.

Cheers,

Marta

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Otis tarda finds

Dear all,

I just had a visit from two gentlemen from the Great Bustard Group who wanted to know more about archaeological finds of Otis tarda in Great Britain and the rest of Europe. I was only able to find a reference about the Ukraine by Benecke In my own database. Who can help me out and make me aware of other references?

Thanks, Jessica Grimm
