Hi Lidia
 
It could be one of the white-toothed shrews - Crocidura russula or C. suaveolens ?
 
Best wishes

Subject: [ZOOARCH] identification of a micro mandible, now in BoneCommons...




Dear Zooarch,

Could anybody help me to identify taxonomically a micro jaw?
Attached images now in BoneCommons: http://www.alexandriaarchive.org/bonecommons/items/show/1709
It's from a roman context.

Any contribution would be helpful.
Thank you very much and sorry for the initial wrong mail...
