Abstract

The archaeology department of the Cultural Heritage Agency holds a zooarchaeological reference collection. The collection consists of fossil, archaeological and recent remains of mammals, birds, fish and mollusks. Our aim is to support zooarchaeological research. Therefore we want to publish a catalogue of our collection, so researchers can browse the collection from home, before planning a visit.
