Dear Umberto,
She could contact Dr Masseti and Dr De Maranis, of the Dept of Animal
Biology and Genetics, Laboratories onf Anthropology, University of
Florence resp Instituto Nazionale per la Fauna Selvatica, Bologna, both
in Italy.
They have presented a poster entitled Prehistoric and historical
artificial dispersal of lagomorphs (Mammalia) on the Mediterranian
islands, so they should know more about the subject.
All the best,

Subject: [ZOOARCH] hares, partridges and the Phoenicians
Dear Zooarchers,
A colleague of mine has asked me for advice concerning a zoological
research
she is carrying out on the spread of partridges and hares in the western
Mediterranean. In particular she was trying to find out to what extent
the
Phoenicans may have been responsible for the introduction of these
species in
some areas, particularly on islands. I am afraid I know little about the
Phoenicians' role in all this and I would be grateful to receive any
information that I can then pass on. Many thanks in advance and please
reply to
the list as other people may be interested in this subject.
Cheers,
Umberto
