RESEARCH PLANS Animal Bones and Cultural Identity: Archaeological Trends in Livestock Management and Butchery Practices in the Southern Levant; planned grant application to German Israel Foundation (GIF; with Wolfgang Zwickle of University of Mainz, will be submitted in October 2007). Organizing an international symposium on the significance of Zooarchaeological data for the Study of Trade, Social Status, and Ethnicity (with Wolfgang Zwickle of University of Mainz). Analyzing faunal bone assemblages from additional Middle Palaeolithic and Upper Palaeolithic sites from the southern Caucasus, Republic of Georgia (with Ofer BarYosef of Harvard University and Anna Belfer-Cohen of the Hebrew University) and Armenia (with Dan Adler of University of Connecticut and Ron Pinhasi of Roehampton University). The Gazelle Project: The Impact of Human Hunting on Mountain Gazelle (Gazella gazella) Populations at the Pleistocene/Holocene Boundary in the Southern Levant, collaborative research effort with Natalie Munro of University of Connecticut. Noah's Ark Project and the Reference Collection at the Department of Archaeology, University of Haifa. The collection maintains an expanding sample of vertebrate specimens including mammal, bird, reptile, and amphibian species from Israel. Domestic species are well represented and include a variety of specimens of both sexes and different ages. We already hold more than 150 specimens, including articulated skeletons of different animals. The reference collection is used for archaeological and zoological research and aims to serve a wide array of educational purposes for broad audiences. Among this we are currently preparing an exhibition of the large mammals of Israel to Stekelis Museum of Prehistory Establishing the Archaeozoological digitized database of Israel in GIS format (with Ella Tsachar). This database enables to track faunal changes through time and space and highlight domestic and wild faunal turnovers.
