Can growth in captivity alter the calcaneal microanatomy of a wild ungulate? by Cottereau, Romain, Ortiz, Katia, Locatelli, Yann, Houssaye, Alexandra, Cucchi, Thomas

“…In a context where documenting early process of animal domestication is challenging, this study will test the hypothesis that change in mobility patterns during a wild ungulate’s life will alter the internal structure of its limb bones and provide a proof of concept for the application of this knowledge in Zooarchaeology. Using the calcaneus as a phenotypic marker through qualitative and quantitative 3D microanatomical analyses, we relied on a comparative study across wild boars (Sus scrofa) populations from controlled experimental conditions with different mobility patterns (natural habitat, large pen, and stall) and archaeological specimens collected from middle and late Mesolithic as surrogate for the norm of reaction in European wild boar phenotype before the spread of agriculture and domestic pigs. …”

Des pieds de moutons dans la citerne du sanctuaire de Corent (Veyre-Monton, Puy-de-Dôme) : rejet détritique ou dépôt rituel ? by Sylvain Foucras

“…Everything seems to show that once this act was done, the tank was quickly filled in, and then sealed by an impressive limestone slab. The zooarchaeological study reveals that despite their anarchic position at the bottom of the structure, these legs are divided equally between forelimb and hindlimb and between left and right. …”

Le fromage en Gaule à l’âge du Fer et à l’époque romaine : état des lieux pour sa production et analyse de sa place dans le monde antique by Alain Ferdière, Jean-Marc Séguier

“…Other possible artefacts related to cheese-making, which in fact occur in very small numbers, are also analysed, as well as the few buildings possibly dedicated to this production, and the zooarchaeological data, which are not very conclusive, as well as the prospects opened up by the search for biomarkers. …”
