i'm taking a zooarchaeology class right now, and sorting bird bones from a 17th century site in greenland to assist with someone's thesis.

these are some visual notes i made to help memorize and understand their shapes - it's taken a bit, but now i can pick up a fragment of a bird bone and know which part of the skeleton it is, if most of one end is there :>

Signs I may have been in the lab too long:

Just got the urge to give the samples a little kiss on the head before tucking them into their sleeping sample bags

Several hundred years in the ground makes them seem more sterile somehow and less gross

Favourite 'weird' or obscure sub-discipline of archaeology?

Oh man I have so much respect for any of the really niche disciplines, but the bones people (both animal and human) deserve a shout out. @wafflelovingbatgirl I could never do what you do. Bones confuse me so hard. There are just so dang many of em...

Hey fish skulls are really fucked up, if anyone was wondering. The skull is not one or two stuck-together units, like birds and mammals and all REASONABLE creatures.

How many bones are in a fish skull? I don't know, fucking dozens of the things. It's bizarre and slightly disturbing. Their skulls are FLEXIBLE. ON PURPOSE! Apparently it helps them swim, but I Do Not Like It. It's creepy. How is that going to protect their brains?

Last week I spent two days on a refresher course in Comparative Osteology. It felt great to be back in the laboratory after a very long break working primarily with written source materials.

so i was going to make a post of some of the incorrect bone ids i've seen on various museum/arch collections websites, but as i was compiling some, i found one that's human lol

guess who now has to send (undisclosed arch project) an email that they have human remains in with their faunal 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

#classed as food/beverage #gosh i hope not #sorry to whichever arch has to deal with this for their actual job #zooarchaeology #bone identification

Weird lab moments: going up to my professor, asking if she wants to see something cute, and then pulling out a baby sheep/goat mandible from my assemblage

Weirder lab moments: her response of “aww it’s so little!”
