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

International 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.

Osteometry of Duck Species in Northwestern Europe—A Reassessment of Woelfle's (1967) Dataset

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 39-60, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study revisits and expands upon Elisabeth Woelfle's (1967) foundational analysis of bone morphology and osteometry, which has long been a key reference for zooarcheological identification of duck species in northwestern Europe. By examining Woelfle's unpublished measuring protocols and incorporating 523 newly measured specimens, we ...

Sharp Force Trauma and Chop Mark Identification Bias: Experimental Evidence on the Effects of Bone Morphology, Cortical Thickness, and Ax Material

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 88-100, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sharp force trauma (SFT) is the main criterion used to identify chop mark butchery in zooarchaeology, yet its reliability as a diagnostic feature has not been systematically tested. Chop marks reflect both cutting and fracturing processes and exhibit characteristics of both sharp and blunt trauma.
