Chapter 2 Brazilian Zooarch Database: database of the archaeological fauna of Brazil (in portuguese) revista.sabnet.org/ojs/index.ph... (2/6)
To be honest I’m at the point where I think any anthropology that directly concerns people is fundamentally flawed. Zooarch and primatology seem safe, though
I was baffled by this - looks like nothing I’d seen before. A zooarch friend weighed in, though: catfish!
What element do you think it is? The texture looks odd, makes me think bird or fish (but I'm no zooarch!)
I think about zooarch soundscapes a lot after making a couple of them. It's not enough though to just "insert moo" as there are very particular sounds animals make during different times of day, and in response to different situations. Like, what is a moo that you could hear that would terrify you?
Nasal turbinate bones in a damaged European beaver skull, Castor fiber. This is the medial aspect, left side, the right side of the skull is absent. The front of the skull is to the right of the picture. Specimen photographed in the reference collection at the Zooarch Lab, University of Sheffield.
No, no idea I'm afraid. According to the Zooarch database, the body was spotted in Derbyshire & left to decay in August 1998. Somewhat similar to the condition 'Wrynose' found in deer & many other mammal species, but here it's not so much the nose that's awry, it's the sagittal crest.
Someone posted a picture of Fred Truman earlier so what with that and the ferret legging chat on zooarch the other day, I think Yorkshire's doing just fine 😊
