Sled dogs carry the evidence in their legs: radius, ulna and tibia about 6% shorter than other canids. 73 of 82 ancient Chukotka dog bones fit, though no sled came with them. #SledDogs #Archaeology #Zooarchaeology www.anthropology.net/p/89-of-anci...

Absolute killer new avian #zooarchaeology paper (Rizetto et al, Quat Int). Venice wildfowling: winter-caught mallards dominated (esp. Roman & early Medieval), but also wigeon (incl. for rent payment). Size, ease of capture & env. change all likely factors. So much to dig into here. #archaeobirds 🪶 🏺

Excited to be presenting the results of my (now submitted) #PhD at @highlandhet.bsky.social conference on Saturday, exploring the relationship between people and #reddeer in Highlands of #Scotland and how it changed over time.

The Dog as a Global Psychopomp

Across almost every continent, ancient cultures independently linked the #dog to the #afterlife. This is not a local myth — it’s a recurring archetype revealed by #historiography, #iconography, and #zooarchaeology.

A nice end to #FindsFriday!

This piece of ?antler appears to have been chopped into, you can clearly see the cut marks. What do you think it may have been used for?

When is a dog a dog? 🐾🐕‍🦺 Fascinating paper from A.B, Sophy & @gregerlarson.bsky.social ponders the dangers of assumptions and presumptions when drawing conclusions about #domestication of our furry... friends(?) #dogsofbluesky #zooarchaeology #aDNA #dogs

The audacity to say this with a handful of #zooarchaeology (and a sherd, fine)
