The Newtown site is a hinterland site, out in the landscape at some distance away from the heart of Dublin City within the old city walls. This site and it’s dogs will provide a good contrast to the urban (within the walls) sites. This large dog was perhaps a farm working dog?

ℹ️ Proteomics, the large-scale study of proteins, is a fantastic "new" tool for . It allows different researches, including species πŸ¦πŸ¦’πŸ¦“ and sex ⚀ determination or identification of microorganisms 🦠 that caused ancient diseases 🀒.

National Geographic has a nice cover of its potential:

Fantastic! Many thanks to Con again! 🍎 🍏 πŸ• πŸ• his apple juice is gorgeous & he has camping sites too, which my brother used and they were delighted. Based near Cahir, Co.

Killuragh cave horse bones (partial distal tibia and pisiform bones) … earliest post Ice Age horse bones in Ireland found in this cave in Middle Bronze Age. But what kind of horses? We are collab with @StillJustRena to investigate further :)

More from Killuragh cave, Ireland. This distal humerus (fore leg) bone from a pig of wild boar found in the same pit fill as Arctic lemming, Irish mountain hare and wood mouse. Hopefully we can get it radiocarbon dated. Very visible parallel fine cut incised marks on the bone associated with butchering practices by humans.

Starting to prepare from Killuragh Cave, Co. Limerick for Licencing applications to the National Museim of Ireland, for radiocarbon dates, and stable isotopes from multi-species. Including ! Will be photographing these & more later in the week and filling in the licence forms. Also some unidentified bone fragments will go for ZooMS analysis to determine the their species.

Alas, the spider infested bone shed has to wait due to rain (& my fear). But fear not … Irish archaeology and bones won’t be stopped in their tracks for I have phoned a friend for help for Wednesday afternoon. Pray the rain gods hold their water!!! Pray the large spiders go away!

According to FAO, β€œin 2020, the global chicken population was over 33 billion birds.” πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“

Indeed, although much is said about dogs, the animal is .

Domesticated in Asia, their oldest evidences are from ∼1650 to 1250 BCE in central Thailand (Peters et al. 2022).

Their oldest remains in Europe are from the (Best et al. 2022). Greek and Phoenician merchants transported and introduced chickens around the Mediterranean and trade networks promoted its fast expansion further north.

From my experience as chickens are one of the most common zooarchaeological remains in Iberian and contexts and, for sure, one of the our food staples since then.

Nowadays, there are hundreds :100a: of chicken breeds. Guess what's for lunch? πŸ—
