Greetings to everyone from the field -a Bronze Age site near the Turkish-Syrian border, not too far from the Mediterranean Sea ----- namely Alalakh. We just extracted this huge bird humerus from a street deposit and we're all very excited to learn which species it belongs to. If anyone can help, we would very much appreciate it! http://www.alexandriaarchive.org/icaz/icazForum/viewtopic.php?t=1045 Canan Cakirlar, M.A., Dr. Rer. Nat.
