My PhD project is a longitudinal, zooarchaeological study of large mammal communities in Gibraltar, from the time of the Neanderthals (circa 120,000 to approximately 30,000 years before present), to the time of the Phoenicians in the 8th to 2nd centuries BC. It involves identifying animal bones excavated from Gorham’s Cave over several years of excavations and assessing how the mammals of Gibraltar changed over time in terms of species represented, relative abundance, and in morphology, which might relate to factors such as climate change, habitat loss, or domestication. I expect to see less variety of species over time, and to see differences in the size and shape of animal bones and teeth.
