Hi Edouard,
Also of interest to you will be work currently being undertaken by Ged Poland, a PhD student at Sheffield University. https://www.shef.ac.uk/archaeology/people/phds/ged-poland

Dear Edouard,

You will find discussions about ducks identification, including dabbling vs diving ducks in WOELFLE, E. (1967). Vergleichend morphologische Untersuchungen an Einzelknochen des postcranialen Skelettes in Mitteleuropa vorkommender Enten, Halbganse und Sager.
It is in German, as you probably noticed with the title.

All the best,
Quentin

Objet : [ZOOARCH] wild dabbling vs diving/sea ducks

Dear zooarchers,

Are there any osteological studies that have discussed morphological differences between wild ducks, especially dabbling vs sea-ducks/diving ducks. I have Ericson’s book on the eider but I was wondering if there were any other studies worth looking at. Also does anyone confidently identify dabbling vs sea-duck/diving or Mallard vs Eider, and if so on which elements? I attempted but saw too much variation to be confident enough but I may have missed the obvious for someone highly experienced with ducks.

Many thanks for your help

Edouard
