Our own Phoebe Liu has presented a poster based on her PhD research at the conference of the British Association for
Biological Anthropology and Osteoarchaeology. Well done Phoebe! Photos by @snakesandbones.bsky.social. @umbertoalbarella.bsky.social @zig-saa.bsky.social @zooarch.bsky.social

Very proud of our PhD students - Marina Chorro Giner, Ruth Irovec and Benjamin Wimmer - for giving excellent talks at the School of Biosciences postgraduate research conference @zooarch.bsky.social

A&K #7 - This week we're moving outside of Europe to highlight this remarkable compendium of Neotropical Zooarchaeology, edited by our wonderful Argentinian colleagues Mariana Mondini, Sebastián Muñoz and Pablo Fernández

A&K #6 - This week we turn our attention again to the Sheffield team to highlight this paper which reviews the evidence for animal use at Roman roadside settlements in Britain.

Our reference collection needs constant upkeep so this week we're having a spring clean of our key reference bones! Specifically we're retouching and improving the labelling to make sure the collection is as accessible as possible for everyone, no matter their experience level.

A&K #3 - Our latest instalment discusses the introduction of the domestic horse to Ireland, using modern technology (radiocarbon measurements) to tackle an age old question - when did the horse first appear? Find it here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

A new addition to our fabulous bird reference collection, Accipiter nisus aka a Eurasian Sparrowhawk. This beautiful bird was very kindly donated by our friends at The Raptor Foundation, because conservation doesn't have to end at death.

This week our MSc students have been using our #zooarchaeology teaching and reference collections to tackle the ever challenging task of identifying closely related species like sheep and goat

These tiny little teeth belong to the latest addition to our zooarchaeology reference collection - a baby Panthera tigris (Bengal tiger) very kindly donated to us by our friends at The Alfred Denny Museum.

We've made the move from twitter to BlueSky! Follow us for updates on our activities, interesting #zooarchaeology related things, and pictures of items from our collection. We're starting off with this rather nice comparison of a domestic dog and a wolf.
