I am really sad to hear these news. As many others I met Don Brothwell at the Institute of Archaeolgy, UCL in the early 90's. His lectures on Vertebrates in Archaeology were fascinating for somebody like me who was beginning to feel a passion for archaeozoology. I loved the practicals because we have the opportunity to put our hands on real bones! Definitely, he was one of the best teachers I had! Marta Moreno-García El 29/09/2016 a las 11:51, Lee G.
