Dear zooarch community,
I was wondering if anyone had a pdf copy or knows how I can get my hands on the following paper:
Saunders, J.J., Dawson, B.K., 1998. Bone damage patterns by Pachycrocuta. In: Tomida, Y., Flynn, L.J., Jacobs, L.L. (Eds.), Advances in Vertebrate Palaeontology and Geochronology. National Science Museum, Tokyo, pp. 214–242.
Thanks a lot

> Dear colleagues, Jean SOULAT, a french researcher ask me a question. He study the combs of tortoise shell dated to 17th-18th centuries in Western Europe and their connection with the Caribbean and North America. He made an inventory of objects but he have no data yet for sites that had delivered tortoise shell remnants. He search now for publications on the subject in this large geographical area, trying to make the link between the Caribbean and Europe in connection with the delivery of this exotic material. Any data are wellcomed. Many thanks in advance, best regards, Olivier.

ICAZ 6th Animal Palaeopathology Working Group Meeting
26–29 May 2016
Budapest, Hungary
The Archaeological Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences willhost the 6th Animal PalaeopathologyWorking Group (APWG) Meeting of the International Council forArchaeozoology in Budapest, Hungary, between Thursday 26th May and Sunday 29thMay 2016.
The event will be dedicated to the memory of Sándor Bökönyi (1926–1994)on the 90th anniversary of his birth. We encourage archaeologists, osteologistsand veterinary pathologists to present studies dealing with the history ofanimal disease from their respective fields of research.
The preliminary program of the conference is as follows:
· Thursday 26 May:registration, lunch, papers, free program
· Friday 27 May:papers, lunch, visit to the museum(s) of the Faculty of Veterinary Science inBudapest, free program
· Saturday 28 May:papers, lunch, poster presentations, workshop, APWG discussion, conferencedinner
· Sunday 29 May:excursion to Szentendre, visit to the Open Air Museum of Ethnography. Arrivingback to Budapest around 5 PM.
The registration fee is €30 and €25 for students and unwagedparticipants. The registration form should be returned until 18 December 2015. The deadline for the abstracts is 15th January 2016.
Those interested in receiving the registration form and the abstracttemplate should contact Erika Gál: [log in to unmask]
The final call with the full program of the conference is scheduled to theearly spring of 2016.
