Taxonomic status and geographical cranial variation of common dolphins (Delphinus) in the eastern North Atlantic
The common dolphin has a widespread distribution and is relatively abundant in the temperate to subtropical waters of the eastern North Atlantic. However, it is not known whether different species, subspecies, or populations occur in this region. We examined 393 common dolphin skulls obtained from both stranded and bycaught individuals...Murphy, Sinead ; Herman, Jeremy S. ; Pierce, Graham J. ; Rogan, Emer ; Kitchener, Andrew C.

Matrilines in Neolithic cattle from Orkney, Scotland reveals complex husbandry patterns of ancestry
mtDNA, isotopic and archaeozoological analyses of cattle teeth and bones from the Late Neolithic site of Links of Noltland, Orkney, Scotland revealed these animals followed similar grazing regimes but displayed diverse genetic origins and included one cattle skull that carried an aurochs (wild cattle) genetic haplotype. Morphometric analyses indicate the...Fraser, Sheena ; Elsner, Julia ; Hamilton, W Derek ; Sayle, Kerry L ; Schlumbaum, Angela …

Corrigendum to “Species identification of archaeological marine mammals using collagen fingerprinting” [YJASC 41 (2014) 631–641]
Throughout human history, coastal and marine resources have been a vital part of human subsistence. As a result archaeological faunal assemblages from coastal sites often contain large quantities of skeletal remains indicative of human interaction with marine mammals. However, these are often hard to identify due to a unique combination...Buckley, M ; Fraser, S ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Melton, N D ; Mulville, J …

Species identification of voles and lemmings from Late Pleistocene deposits in Pin Hole Cave (Creswell Crags, UK) using collagen fingerprinting
Microfaunal remains are commonly used as palaeoenvironmental proxies and have been proposed as a means to identify relative ages of Late Quaternary deposits through biostratigraphy (i.e., utilising ‘Mammal Assemblage Zones’). However, assemblages of faunal remains can include a diverse range of taxa which are often difficult to distinguish using morphological... -
