I am so sorry to hear of Anne's passing. She was such an energetic, meticulous researcher and a generous colleague.

Dear all,
We am very sad
to inform you that Anne Tresset passed over last Thursday
evening, exhausted by
a long struggle against a terrible cancer. During these last
five years, we
believed several times that she had definitely conquered this
ugly crab. No
way…
Anne
Tresset was 55. Her PhD (1996) dealt with the “role
of human / animal relationships in the economic and cultural
evolution of
societies from the 5th to the 4th millennia in the Paris
Basin”. She spent two post-doctoral
years in Edinburgh as an associate visitor of the International
Social Sciences Institute. In 2000, she became a CNRS researcher then
a Director of research, in
the lab of archaeozoology and archaeobotany of the National
Natural of History
Museum in Paris.
During the
last 20 years, she strongly participated in the expansion of the
French
community of archaeozoologists. She played an active part in the
development of
new analytical techniques for archaeozoology, especially stable
isotopes,
palaeogenetics and morphometrics. She contributed
to create relevant synergies between the different specialists,
leading to an
enriched and refined vision of the processes of domestication
and of the
complex interactions between climate, humans and animal
communities on small
islands. She developed many researches on the Neolithic and
island biogeography
in Brittany and the British islands, in the North of France and
in Romania.
During the last few years, she initiated a project on the small
islands in
North China, and devoted a large part of the time that her
illness left her to work
on the origin of European dogs. She recently published an
important paper about
that question (http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2018.0286).
Anne was a very
strong and enthusiastic person,
who passionately put herself into everything she undertook.
The French
community and the numerous collaborators she had in numerous
places of the
world are very sad.
