Dear all, we are in the process of re-issuing the English Heritage Animal Bones and Archaeology: Guidelines for Best Practice and Supplements, as Historic England publications. As part of this we are updating Supplement 1: Key reference resources (see https://content.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/animal-bones-and-archaeology/animal-bones-and-archaeology-supplement1.pdf/), which includes reference lists for:

·         Comparative assemblage resources (Regional reviews; On-line zooarchaeological datasets)

·         Species biogeography and zoology (Species biogeography; On-line zoological guides)

·         Zooarchaeological methods and conventions (eg General zooarchaeology texts; Recording databases/spreadsheets; Zone conventions; Age at death; Biometry; Pathology; Taphonomy)

·         Identification resources (Virtual comparative resources; Identification guides)

 

We would welcome suggestions for publications issued since autumn 2014 to the present, as well as any key resources that you feel we may have missed in the first edition. Please send your suggestions by Friday May 18^th.
