Show threadViking Dublin Dogs 🐕 🐺🐴Jul 10, 2023
I'm Ruth Carden, the Principal Investigator on the #VikingDublinDogs project. I'm a part time research scientist with University College Dublin, Ireland and a #zooarchaeologist. I work in commerical zooarchaeological fields and research, as well as #Quaternary palaeozoology research. As a #dog lover myself, though all my dogs have passed over the rainbow, I will get more in due time, this project resonates with me immensely. We are a large team and it's going to be exciting walk through time!

Any guesses what #MarineMammal this tooth belongs to?

Working at #UniversityOfCapeTown this week going through the #LateStoneAge #HoffmansRobberg and #NelsonBayCave as I prep a permit for #StableIsotope analysis when I came across this identified by #zooarchaeologist Leesha Richardson.
