Aspects of Archaeology: Archaeozoology

[@journeyer58]

Thank you for the videos you make. I understand very little of the true science of archaeology, I haven't studied in uni this subject. You make the subject easily understood and meaningful, to do this takes skill and a great deal of knowledge. Your knowledge would blow those creatards out of the water with your understanding of the age of the earth and the timeline of earth's existence. Peace!

Thanks for this series! I've been using it to revise for my exams.

Hi, I'm a archaeologist from Peru, I have a master in zooarchaeology. I found your video very instructive for the people who are not familiar with this field. Are you interested in cultures from this part of the world? I currently do my reaserch in the Peruvian coast. If you like we can do some knowledge exchange. Keep on doing this good work, I'm following your chanel now. Bye

Hello. I have sent an email to the prof to lectured on this back in Uni. I am not a mollusc specialist and therefore the name(s) escape me. As far as I recall there are a few species which might serve as indicators. They thrive in covered and woodland areas but when found in the middle of grass land, might hint at an indoor space! I will let you know asap.

@SoundOfScilence I'm sorry to say, no, that particular image was used for its aesthetic qualities. The mollusc itself is, I believe, larger than the ones in that sample. I am afraid the name escapes me, but I shall look into it for you. Essentially it's a species which thrives in a very particular moisture and temperature range which in human contexts is most closely replicated by indoor areas in the Neolithic - Iron Age. A similar analysis is also possible with insects!

Hullo! Wondering if you ever found the type of mullusc; I've tried a quick surf about the web, and couldn't seem to find anything that sounded like what you mentioned. Thanks!

Hello. Thanks for the vid. I'm a Colombian anthropologist (in latin America). I've not yet decided what research course to take. I've always kept zooarchaeology in mind, but this semester I had the oportunity to go to the zooarchaeology lab, and I felt scared because of the tiny bones I saw. Do you think this is a normal reaction, or this may be a problem in the future if I chose a topic related to zooarchaeology?
