    A day-long course in animal skeleton preparation. Learn how to skin, separate the limbs from the body and head, deflesh and prepare small mammal and bird carcasses. Historic England (HE) has an extensive, and growing, collection of animal skeletons that are used by zooarchaeologists for reference. They are therefore experts in preparing skeletons and are delivering this course for NatSCA in Portsmouth in July. Eva Fairnell and Polydora Baker will take you through the steps from carcass to skeleton using material at HE. The course covers everything apart from articulation.
