> Dear all,
>
>  I write on behalf of Arturo Morales who is presently trying to  
> address on three Spanish sites how to set apart ?fossils?, meaning  
> faunas dating from long before an archaeological occupation, from  
>  those essentially contemporaneous with it. The problem is not just  
> one of how to define a fossil (not that easy, or so it seems) but  
> also what kinds of criteria can one use to set apart ?modern? from  
> ?old? in different groups, vertebrates and mollusks in particular.  
> This is critical when dealing with specimens from species which are  
> still alive (mollusks and shark teeth from coastal sites close to  
> paleontological outcrops are a case in point).
>
>  Does anyone  know  papers specifying such differences? Or papers  
> that would provide protocols  one needs to apply to the specimens to  
> set apart fossil from ?modern??
>
>  We would also be grateful if people could point out regional  
> reviews  on fossils from conventional  archaeofaunal assemblages  
> especially from Europe OTHER than the ones cited below.
