Tracking 4000 years of raptor diets through isotope analysis reveals urban scavenging with implications for conservation Birds of prey (‘raptors’) often consume anthropogenic foods and can be closely associated with human settlements. In medieval Britain, birds of prey w…

Very glad to share the findings from my PhD work on raptors from archaeological sites, showing an early pattern of urban scavenging! #archaeobirds
