Dear zooarchers, As part of my research to investigate the past taphonomic effects on a Dutch Early Neolithic site, I am trying to classify bone fragments into different stages of combustion, looking at colour as well as at the texture of the fragments. For my classification I am using characteristics mentioned in references such as Shipman et al. (1984), Nicholson (1993), Stiner et al. (1995), Cain (2005) and Becdelievre et al. (2015). Using both colour and microscopic texture (up to 50x magnification) does improve the accuracy of the classification, but as I am new with this kind of analysis, I want to make sure I am classifying the fragments correctly. Can anyone who has experience in this kind of analysis help me by taking a look at some picture I took of fragments which I classified in different combustion stages? I would very much appreciate it. For anyone who is willing to help or is just curious about the photographs, I can send you the file off-list. Thank you very much in advance, Rianne Breider Research Master student in Archaeozoology University of Groningen The Netherlands
