My name is Gillian Wong (she/her), I'm an anthropological archaeologist who specializes in zooarchaeology, the study of animal remains in the archaeological record. My main area of research is paleoecology; I'm interested in understanding how past people were impacted by their local environment and the animals that shared that environment with them. I'm currently an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Texas at El Paso and am also affiliated with the University of Tübingen. I hold a PhD (Doktor der Naturwissenschaften) in Archaeological Sciences from the University of Tübingen, Germany, an M.S. in Anthropology from the University of Utah, and a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of California, Davis.

Assistant Professor, Dept. of Sociology and Anthropology, Mount Royal University. Additional Affiliation: Florida Museum of Natural History; Lamanai Archaeological Project. Current project: Examining the long-term relationships between Mesoamerican groups and river turtles to document the place of turtles within Indigenous ritual economy and assess the impact of climatic events and anthropogenic pressures on turtle population diversity and distribution. Dissertation project: Examining the transformation and resilience in Maya political economy at the household level at contact-period Lamanai (Belize), using animal remains as a proxy for socio-political and economic relations between Maya community members, and between Maya and Spanish.

PhD (2018, Lund University). I focused on the concept of waste management in zooarchaeology in my thesis, with an application on Bronze Age faunal remains from the Greek settlement Asine. Employed as archaeologist/osteologist at Sydsvensk Arkeologi, an contract archaeology firm in the south of Sweden.

My research focuses on archaeological animal remains from Estonia. I study mostly domestic livestock with an interest in their population history, breed development, and connection to autochthonous breeds. In 2016, I received my PhD at the University of Tartu, Estonia with a thesis "Development of sheep populations in Estonia as indicated by archaeofaunal evidence and ancient mitochondrial DNA lineages from the Bronze Age to the Modern Period". In 2017-2019 I did my MSCA post-doctoral research at BioArCh, University of York, UK with a project "Ovine origins and diversity in north-eastern Europe". In 2025 I received MSc in Animal Science at the Estonian University of Life Sciences with a master's thesis "Body size and conformation of the Estonian Native Horse and its ancestral populations". I'm currently an Associate Professor of Archaeology at the University of Tartu, member of the breeding committee …

Recently completed my PhD looking at the nature and character of Anglo-Saxon fishing and fish consumption and am now looking for a post-doctoral or other research post.

I have worked on zooarchaeological material from Iceland, Greenland and Ireland. I am interested in the zooarchaeology of the North Atlantic and using ancient DNA to study animal movements. I am intersted in human-animal interactions and adaptation of livestock breeds to the climates of the North Atlantic. I did my BA in Archaeology with a minor in gender studies from the University of Iceland in 2002-2005. I completed my MA in Anthropology from Hunter College, The City University of New York in 2008 with a focus on the zooarchaeology of the North Atlantic.

I am an archaeologist trained in Zooarchaeology since 1982. My research focuses on human-animal relationships, mostly in hunter-fisher-gatherer groups in costal and maritime environments (Southern Patagonia, Northern coast of Peru, Aleutian Islands, Indian Ocean). I am a Professor at the Paris Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle. Since Septembre 2020, I am the director of the naturalist collections of the MNHN. I have been a member of ICAZ since 1982, a member of the IC from 2006 to 2014, and ICAZ Secretary from 2013 to 2021.

I am a postdoctoral researcher working on faunal material from the Birnirk and Thule periods in northwest Alaska. Part of my current research involves developing methods for identifying small seals based on their ancient DNA. I am also interested in human-animal interactions in the Arctic and the change in these interactions over time.

Thomas W. Wyrwoll is an archaeologist and zoologist specialised in the larger mammals mostly of the Palaearctic and adjacent regions (Europe, Asia, Africa) and their archaeological depictions, including rock art.

I am a Palaeolithic zooarchaeologist interested in the evolution of hominin subsistence behaviour. My research focus is on the analysis of animal remains from Palaeolithic sites to investigate taphonomy, site formation and hominin behaviour. I am also interested in the integration of biomolecular (ZooMS), biochemical (stable isotope) and zooarchaeological data. I have been involved in incorporating these such data at Palaeolithic sites to investigate site formation and human subsistence behaviour. I am currently a Senior Researcher in Zooarchaeology and is lead collaborator on the ERC/UKRI COEXIST project. He is leading work packages on integrating ZooMS and zooarchaeological data to maximise the potential of fragmented Palaeolithic bone assemblages. Through this he will obtain a deeper understanding of the diet and subsistence of Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. google scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Zln_V8UAAAAJ&hl=en COEXIST website: https://research.reading.ac.uk/coexist/ university profile: https://www.reading.ac.uk/archaeology/staff/dr-geoff-smith
