Happy to report that a special volume of the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology on the 2021 meeting of the @ICAZ_News Bird Working Group, edited by me and @nearlyDrSam, is now published. Twenty papers full of birdy bone goodness for you to enjoy! ➡️onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/…

New paper alert🚨🐳- Hundreds of whale bones have been recovered from the Anglo-Saxon site of Hamwic (modern Southampton). Many of these have been used for the production of bone combs. Were the Anglo-Saxons performing whaling? Or did they rely on trade?

A study of ancient eggshells found at the Old Town archaeological site in New Mexico suggests that people were breeding scarlet macaws north of present-day Mexico in the 1100s. The study improves our understanding of this ancient practice. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/A5NP50OTHrk

An often overlooked part of the expansion of empires is the movement of animals.
The first water buffalo 🐃 in the Caucuses, which is now an important farm animal there, were introduced by Caliphates spreading into the region 600-800 AD.
