Faunal
Expert
My name's Michael. I'm an archaeologist, but I’m also a faunal specialist who studies bones.
I look at the bones that are found on archaeological sites and identify what type of animals they came from. My work helps archaeologists understand what people in the past ate and what animals they kept on their farms and in their backyards.
Sometimes
on archaeological sites we even find human bones. We can tell a
lot about people from their bones: how old they were, how healthy
they were, and how they died.
