That is terrible news. As Umberto says, Tony made a huge contribution to zooarchaeology as a whole, both by his own research and by promoting and provoking lively discussions. He thoroughly understood animals and people who work with them, and brought that knowledge to bear in his zooarch research. He was also a somewhat larger-than-life character, often loudly opinionated but, at least in my experience, always prepared to listen and to consider other points of view just so long as you had your facts straight! Conversations with Tony were wide-ranging, educational and always fun. He was a one-off, and I will miss him.
