Estimating European Pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) Total Length: New Equations for the Ichthyoarchaeological Record

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 325-340, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout its area of distribution, in particular in the Iberian Peninsula, the European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum 1792) has been an extensively exploited species since Prehistoric times. Our knowledge of the past fisheries of this clupeid nevertheless remains limited due to a scarcity of ichthyoarchaeological data, which reflects,
