A Modern Metrical Baseline for Sexing Sheep Horn‐Cores
Sex determination is essential for reconstructing past livestock management, yet the limited skeletal sexual dimorphism of sheep hinders the identification of ewes, rams, and wethers in archaeological assemblages. Horn‐cores are the most sexually dimorphic element of the sheep skeleton, and here, we establish a new metrical baseline for differentiating these groups. This was created using three measurements—basal circumference, maximum basal diam…
Estimating osteological sex using predictive geometric morphometric analyses of the greater sciatic notch
Features of the pelvis are widely used for estimating sex in both forensic and archaeological contexts. • Qualitative scales are unreliable in estimating sex. • Quantifying the shape of pelvic features using morphometrics provides greater accuracy in sex estimations. • Both the shape and angle of the greater sciatic notch are accurate predictors of biological sex. Accurately estimating the biological sex of human skeletal remains is crucial in bo…
Wild or domestic? A 3D approach applied to crania to revisit the identification of mummified canids from ancient Egypt
Digital Zooarchaeology
Digital technologies are an increasingly pervasive medium for zooarchaeological scholarship, providing a means to document and preserve fragile zooarchaeological specimens, share primary data, address methodological questions, and spread the information to the wider public. During the last decade, a broad array of digital technologies has been widely applied for the creation of three-dimensional images of animal bones, with a number of freely acc…
In search of the 'great horse
Popular culture presents a deep-rooted perception of medieval warhorses as massive and powerful mounts, but medieval textual and iconographic evidence remains highly debated. Furthermore, identifying warhorses in the zooarchaeological record is challenging due to both a paucity of horse remains relative to other domesticates, and the tendency of researchers to focus on osteological size, which makes it difficult to reconstruct in-life usage of ho…
The Shifting Baselines of the British Hare Goddess
The rise of social zooarchaeology and the so-called ‘animal turn’ in the humanities both reflect a growing interest in the interactions of humans and non-human animals. This comparative archaeological study contributes to this interdisciplinary field by investigating the ways in which successive human cultures employed religion to conceptualise and interact with their ecological context across the longue durée . Specifically, we investigate how t…
Celebrating Easter, Christmas and their associated alien fauna
Easter and Christmas are the most important events in the Christian calendar. Despite their global \nreach and cultural significance astonishingly little is known about the festivals’ genesis. Equally \nobscure is our understanding of the animals that have come to be associated with these celebrations \n– notably the Christmas Turkey and the Easter ‘Bunny’ (brown hare and the European rabbit). Like \nChristianity, none of these animals are native…
A landmark-based approach for assessing the reliability of mandibular tooth crowding as a marker of dog domestication
Tooth crowding is one of several criteria used to infer the process of domestication in the zooarchaeological record. It has been primarily used to support claims of early animal domestication, perhaps most contentiously in claims for the existence of so-called “proto-domestic” dogs as early as the Middle-Upper Palaeolithic. Tooth crowding studies vary in their methodological approaches, and interpretation of the resulting data is constrained by …
The use of close-range photogrammetry in zooarchaeology
Close-range photographic techniques - including photogrammetry - are becoming common tools for constructing three-dimensional (3D) models of artifacts, particularly in archaeological research. Whether models obtained through photogrammetry can be used for zooarchaeological studies requires a systematic examination. In the context of research into dog domestication, we explore whether 3D models of wolf crania, obtained through a photogrammetric ap…
