Peabody Museum zooarchaeologists will demonstrate what the bones reveal using modern animal skeletons. “We have everything from mice to mountain lions,” says Zooarchaeology Lab Associate Peter Burns.

The museum’s collection of over 900 specimens includes a large number of domestic animals like sheep, goats, cattle, horses, dogs, cats, snakes, and turtles. Visitors are encouraged to compare modern animal bones from the Museum’s collection to bones from the prehistoric predecessors of today’s animals.

This event is a favorite for children. Bring your own bone to get it identified!
