Dear all, I'd like to thank to all those who have participated in the survey thus far. It's reassuring to know that so many people are interested in helping to understand, develop and support our profession through developing data to analyse current attitudes and practices within the industry. Only through such research can we really know what the current state is and, thus, how it can be improved. The more people who respond, the more accurate the reflection will be. On that note, I'd like to apologise to those few people who tried to complete the survey last week, but couldn't due to technical problems. These have now been resolved and everything should be working smoothly again. If you can contribute and have not yet, or you have tried but could not at the time, please do so when you get the opportunity - the survey's open until this Saturday and should only take a few minutes to complete. It can be found online at <http://zooarchaeology.limeask.com/47723/lang-en> http://zooarchaeology.limeask.com/47723/lang-en (Please note that you will be unable to complete the survey after 5th February). I have also put a link to the survey on my own homepage. Best regards, Lee G. Broderick.

Broderick Subject: Commercial Zooarchaeology Survey Dear All, Please see below for message, posted on behalf of Lee Broderick, for the attention of anyone who has undertaken commercial zooarchaeology work in recent years. If you have any specific queries about Lee's survey, please direct them to Lee at: [log in to unmask] Many thanks for those of you who spare the short time needed to complete the survey. Best wishes, Ellie ____ Dr Ellen Hambleton Senior Lecturer in Zooarchaeology School of Applied Sciences Bournemouth University BH12 5BB Tel: 01202 961268 Email: [log in to unmask] From: Lee Broderick Sent: 27 January 2011 12:46 To: Subject: Commercial Zooarchaeology Dear all, At last year's ICAZ conference, I presented the results of a survey on the state of commercial zooarchaeology of the modern era. As I write up the results for publication in one of the online proceedings volumes, making the data available in the public domain, I would very much like to supplement this data with an up to date view of the situation. Accordingly, I have set up a very short (13 questions) online survey which I would be very grateful if you could spend a few minutes of your time completing. The only condition for participating in the survey is that you have carried out some commercial work (of ANY period and in any capacity [employee, freelance, etc.]) at some point in the last three years. Those who were kind enough to complete the survey last time may notice a couple of different questions this time. The survey can be found online at http://zooarchaeology.limeask.com/47723/lang-en for 10 days only! Please note that you will be unable to complete the survey after 5th February - I know this is a short window, but it's necessitated by the software package, and it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to complete the survey. I have also put a link to the survey on my own homepage. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Best regards, Lee G. Broderick.
