International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A significant methodological difficulty in the interpretation of Pleistocene zooarchaeological assemblages is the identification of taphonomic agents that modify and break bones. Carnivores, in particular, have been a main focus, as competition with carnivores may have affected carcass acquisition opportunities for humans in the past.

A Modern Metrical Baseline for Sexing Sheep Horn‐Cores
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sex determination is essential for reconstructing past livestock management, yet the limited skeletal sexual dimorphism of sheep hinders the identification of ewes, rams, and wethers in archaeological assemblages. Horn‐cores are the most sexually dimorphic element of the sheep skeleton, and here, we establish a new metrical baseline for ...

Stygobiotic faunal elements in spring assemblages of West Transcaucasia
Ecosystem Transformation, 2019 Macroinvertebrates of stygobiotic origin contributing to benthic assemblages in springs of the two regions of West Transcaucasia were investigated. The regions concerned, basins of the KhostaKudeps ta Rivers (Krasnodarskiy krai) and Myussera Upland (Abkhazia), are wellstudied and drastically different in a number of features. Frequency of occurrence,
