Dear Alice,
In these days I read on the newspaper about the discovery of the
remains of giraffe in Pompeii.
There is also an interesting paper of Thierry Buquet about “La belle
captive. La girafe dans les ménageries princičres au Moyen Age”. You can find
it on Academia.edu.
Best wishes
Jacopo

Oggetto: [ZOOARCH] Giraffe finds from Roman, Late Antique and medieval
sites
Hello!
A colleague of mine is
writing a book on medieval giraffes based mainly on textual and image sources.
However, he would be very interested to know about giraffe bone finds from
Roman, Late Antique or medieval archaeological sites. If anyone knows about
such finds could you please send me references or information with some context
provided? I can then send them on.
Best,
Alice
