http://archaeocafe.kvasirpublishing.com/archaeocafe-podcast-ep-234-ottoni/About Claudio Ottoni
Dr. Ottoni is a professor at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". His research interests are in biomolecular archaeology and the study of ancient DNA as a tool to reconstruct the past of human and animal populations. In particular, much of his research has focused on the history of cat-human interactions and particularly through the use of palaeogenetics. He has previously lead research projects at the Center for Archaeological Sciences (CAS) of the KU Leuven University, in Belgium, the Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES) of the University of Oslo, in Norway, and the Diet and Ancient Technology Laboratory (DANTE) of the Sapienza University of Rome, in Italy. Dr. Ottoni is currently the head of the FELIX project, funded by the European Research Council.

FELIX project
This project analyses cats from 10,000 years ago until the 19th century from archaeological sites in Europe, the Near and Middle East, and North Africa to gain insights into the cat-human relationship. By reconstructing the genomes and the dietary habits of ancient cats, the objective of the project is to reconstruct the unique biological and ecological features that shaped cat domestication, and the dispersal of domestic cats across the globe.https://www.ercfelix.com/project/Domestic cat (Felis catus)

Chalcophore association
A group of researchers focussed on the reconstruction of the obsidian exchange system between Corsica and Sardinia in the Neolithic. Their research involves, among other things, building the boats necessary for the crossing, and understanding modes of navigation at sea with the means available during the Neolithic. They also aim to raise public awareness of the Chalcolithic through technical demonstrations and participatory workshops for young people.http://chalcophore.weebly.com/https://www.facebook.com/chalcophore/Créarchéo

Palaeolithic
A period in prehistory distinguished by the original development of stone tools that covers c. 99% of the period of human technological prehistory.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PaleolithicArtefact typology
The result of the classification of things according to their physical characteristics. The products of the classification (in other words, the classes) are also called types. Most archaeological typologies organize portable artefacts into types, but typologies of larger structures, including buildings, field monuments, fortifications or roads, are equally possible. A typology helps to manage a large mass of archaeological data.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typology_(archaeology)Stone tool technology

Dylan Hillis is a graduate student at the University of Victoria. His previous research looked at dietary variation in ancient domestic dogs on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. At present, he is investigating ocean temperature change over the last several thousand years in the Northeast Pacific using zooarchaeological data. Specifically, he is interested in how ancient fish populations responded to dynamic ocean temperatures in the deep past, how fish populations will likely respond to a warming ocean in the current context of a climate crisis, and importantly, what this means for the food security of coastal communities along the British Columbia coast.

Wool Dog
A.K.A. Salish Wool Dog or Comox dog. An extinct breed of white, long-haired, Spitz-type dog that was developed and bred by the Coast Salish peoples of what is now Washington state and British Columbia.
