We did a lot of archaeological survey in northern Qatar. When we found dead camels we’d sometimes take their skulls and mount them on our gate. Until one day some pesky zooarch stole them. 👿

Great to welcome a former MSc student back to the Zooarch collection today 🦴
Alex Waterman completed his MSc with us a few years ago and now works as a field archaeologist at PCAS Archaeology. He made the most of the RICHeS open days to refresh his zooarch skills. Bravo, Alex!

Meanwhile in the Kalahari, Giraffe is getting his vitamins, "gnawing on a still-greasy wildebeest bone." The unalived wildebeest's left scapula juts partially out from the giraffe's side to side chewing as profuse saliva drips from Giraffe's lips (Hutson et al. 2013) #2026MMM
