Hello all!<br><br>I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what this may belong to? Its associated with Queen Anne's Revenge so it's likely something along the coast of eastern North America or Europe (around France).<br><br>Thanks,<br>Jay

Hi Polydora,<br><br>Thanks very much. I must have overlooked this, but it is useful.<br><br>It definitely is true that many museums have little capacity to help a researcher with specialist material, so if the accompanying documentation (mentioned in the guidelines) are sent with the animal bone, it will help a great deal – we have a form to fill in for archiving projects which we could improve with some prompts. I suspect that the more we’re challenged with this issue (I know it’s regrettable), but the more we’re likely to end up with a degree of consensus. [...]

Hi Liz and all, adding to this thread abit late, and echoing many of the comments and concerns, we provide some guiding principles regarding retention in the Animal Bones and Archaeology Guidelines (https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/animal-bones-and-archaeology/):<br>• minimising loss of information<br>• be developed for specific circumstances (eg site type, preservation, etc)<br>• involve a range of experts (eg biochem) to assess impact of a policy – this would consider information potential in the light of developing methodologies, developing theory, improved understanding of archaeological record, eg through regional reviews and frameworks, rerecording using comparable methods, testing previous hypotheses, previous inadequate reporting)<br>• consider [...]

https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A2=ZOOARCH;90b14e2a.2403
Hi Borut and all, there was a Roman period deposit of cremated remains of macrofauna, mixed with microfauna (some also burnt) in vicinity of an inhumation and cremation cemetery at Scole, UK. The taxonomic distribution of the microfauna resembles owl pellet contents with a high proportion of rodents (mainly voles), and fewer amphibians, shrews, small birds, and a few other taxa. Many of the small mammal remains had abraded and rounded articular ends suggesting semi-digestion. The deposit was initially interpreted as a series of ‘funerary pyres’ by the excavators but the assemblage may consist of site refuse mixed with owl [...]

I agree with Umberto that well-dated bone assemblages should never be thrown away. Back in the day, I encountered more than one horror where material later recognised to be important had been thrown away.<br><br>The only time I agreed that bones should not be analysed and might be discarded was when they came from contexts that contain pottery and other finds with a mixture of Roman and medieval material. The discarded bones were then used for teaching. I have also recommended that medieval bone assemblages that could not be dated more closely than to a 200-year span did not merit [...]

Dear Liz,<br>discarding any material is regrettable but if it's inevitable the only<br>logical criterion is based on context/stratigraphic integrity. Bottom<br>priority would be material that is undated, from top layers or poorly<br>stratified. Any selection that is based on actual zooarchaeological<br>evidence (eg. fragment size, anatomical elements, preservation conditions<br>etc) would create a bias and make the whole assemblage of limited use.<br>Also, the museum shouldn't discard the material that they cannot keep but<br>rather donate it to a university or other education centre where it can be<br>used by students for practical activities.

Hi Kevin,<br><br>Skulls/jaws with teeth are a good way to demonstrate the difference between the teeth of a carnivore eg a domestic dog and a herbivore eg a sheep. And if you have an omnivore eg pig as well, even better as you can then ask them which their own teeth most resemble. And you can emphasise that size of an animal is irrelevant if you also have eg a rat/mouse/shrew compared to a vole/squirrel/rabbit. People tend to think that all furry animals are cuddly and docile… [...]

I would like to call attention to an article from last year:<br><br>- Chinsamy Anusuya<br>Chinsamy, Anusuya.<br> 2023 "Palaeoecological deductions from osteohistology," Biol. Lett.192023024520230245http://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2023.0245 . <br> Although a lot of discussion deals with pre-human times, a lot of it is applicable to archaeological concerns. This is a valuable overview.<br><br>Kim Dammers,Provo, UT

Hi everyone,<br><br>As part of my MRes, I'll examine the dental pathology of Iron Age cattle, sheep, and pigs. I wanted to know if any of you had a PDF version of these papers:<br>Levitan, B.
