> I am presently preparing a grant submission to the Social Science  
> and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). This research  
> will present an integrative approach to the study of faunal  
> exploitation by the prehistoric Iroquoians of Northeastern North  
> America, combining zooarchaeology, seasonality, use-wear analysis  
> and technological studies of bone tools. The inclusion of DNA  
> analysis would represent another contributon to this integrative  
> approach. More precisely, I would like to include DNA analysis in  
> order to identifiy the animal species for some of the bone tools  
> that are so heavily worked (transformed) that a species-level  
> identification is impossible using morphological criteria alone.
>
> Hence I would like to know if any of you knows about a DNA analyst  
> that could be interested in participating in such a project. Any  
> suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
